Man attempting to illegally enter US breaks both legs after falling from the top of 30-foot California border wall
US Customs and Border Protection stated in a press release Monday that the undocumented immigrant broke both of his legs and possibly hurt his back.
The man's fall from the international border wall near Calexico, California, took place shortly after 8.15pm on Sunday and was captured on surveillance video.
Border agents assigned to the El Centro checkpoint found the unnamed border cross behind the Gran Plaza Outlet Mall at 9pm and administered aid until paramedics arrived.
EMS technicians airlifted the severely injured man to a hospital in Palm Springs for treatment.
The federal agency reminded the public of ‘the dangers involved in attempting to cross illegally into the United States,’ stressing that climbing the 30-foot border wall could result in life-threatening injuries.
