Eight people were killed and 10 others were injured when a car plowed into pedestrians as they waited at a bus stop in Brownsville, Texas.
The crash occurred at 8:29 a.m. Sunday near the Ozanam Center, according to Brownsville police. Some of the victims struck by the gray Range Rover were migrants under the care of Border Patrol, according to Brownsville police spokesman Martin Sandoval.
