A Casa Grande Station agent near Federal Route 15 spotted a suspicious sedan traveling north and stopped it for questioning. During the vehicle stop, the sedan burst into flames and four suspects attempted to flee the scene. Two were immediately apprehended and a third returned and told agents that there were people locked in the trunk. Agents opened the trunk and discovered one adult and two juveniles, who were suffering from and treated for smoke inhalation. Agents also later apprehended the fourth suspect. All seven people were identified as 'Mexican nationals illegally present in the U.S.' and the driver faces possible prosecution. Tohono O’odham Fire Department responded and extinguished the fire, which had also spread into nearby brush.
