Ensenada, Baja Norte — A 6-year-old boy who was injured in an off-road racing accident last weekend was rescued by San Diego Border Patrol agents. Baja Racing News wants to know, Who Is Goin To Pay The Bills?!
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, a call for help from a group of people gathered south of the primary border barrier near Jacumba came in sometime Saturday.
CBP says agents were informed that a child was struck with a SXS, utility terrain vehicle, also known as a side-by-side, during an off-road race in Jacume, Mexico. They reported the 6-year-old was gravely injured with a severe head injury.
Mexicali is currently going through the worst civil emergency in its history. The political capital of Baja Norte Mexico is awash in crime, murders, drugs and out of control civil unrest. Mexicali police say they had no way to help in this emergency.
Responding agents determined he needed immediate medical attention, prompting them to bring the boy and his father north for transport to the Jacumba Airport. CBP says this decision was made, "due to the extremely remote location of their whereabouts".
