YUMA, Ariz. — Suspected smugglers tried to use ramps to drive an SUV over a 14-foot fence along the U.S.-Mexico border, but they abandoned the effort when it got stuck on top.
U.S. Border Patrol spokesman Spencer Tippets says agents spotted the SUV perched atop the fence early Tuesday near the border between Arizona and California.
Two people on the Mexican side were trying to free the Jeep when the agents approached. They ran further into Mexico.
The Jeep was empty, but agents say it was probably filled with contraband like marijuana before it got stuck.
The smugglers had built ramps that looked like long ladders to drive up and over the fence.
