Brownsville, May 9 The man who drove an SUV into a crowd at a bus stop outside a migrant shelter in Brownsville, a border city in the US' Texas state, has been charged with manslaughter, Brownsville police chief Felix Sauceda has said at a news conference.Death toll increased to eight after an injured person died at hospital later on Sunday. More than 10 others were injured during the crash, Xinhua news agency reported.The police chief said the 34-year-old driver, identified as George Alvarez, was charged with eight counts of manslaughter and 10 counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.Police said they were still investigating the crash, not ruling out the possibility of an intentional act.The vehicle Alvarez was driving ran a red light, lost control, flipped on its side and hit 18 people on Sunday morning, said Sauceda. The driver was detained by bystanders when he tried to flee the scene.The crash came days before the expiration of the so-called Title 42 border policy on Thursday. Since 2020, the policy allows US border officials to swiftly expel migrants and asylum-seekers to curb the spreading of the Covid-19 pandemic.As the lifting of Title 42 approaches, Brownsville, like a number of other cities along the US southern border, has been struggling with a surge in migrants attempting to cross into the US from Mexico.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
