US officials say two people were hit by a car and killed as they sprinted from a van that sped across the border crossing from Tijuana, Mexico, into San Diego County.
US Border Patrol agent Tekae Michael tells KNSD-TV the incident happened around 2 am (local time) today at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.
Michael says the van with nine people inside sped through the port of entry and continued on Interstate 5 on the US side before stopping a short distance from the border.

All of the van's occupants then ran. Michael says an oncoming car fatally struck two of them. The seven others were taken into custody.
