Road accident in Tagil City, Russia.
A large human smuggling attempt was prevented by U.S. Border agents early Monday morning just north of Laredo, Texas, FOX29 reported. Agents stopped a white tractor that was hauling a white trailer at mile marker 31 and brought in a service canine to take a closer look. The canine alerted the agents to the trailer, so it was opened and 28 people were found inside. They were from Mexico, Guatemala and Ecuador and the driver was a U.S. citizen. All were taken into custody and this will be investigated further. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said, "Despite the ongoing international COVID-19 pandemic, alien smugglers endanger the lives of individuals they transport, and put at risk the health and safety of our Nation. U.S. Border Patrol agents strive to prevent the flow of illegal immigration and slow the spread of COVID-19." You can report suspicious activity by calling the Laredo Sector Border Patrol toll free (800) 343-1994.

The Internal Revenue Service's online tool that helps Americans track their $1,200 stimulus checks has gone into meltdown just hours after it launched. Frustrated users took to social media Wednesday to blast the highly-anticipated tracker, reporting that the site is crashing or telling them that it can't find their details. More ludicrous still, payments have been sent to people who have been dead for two years, while thousands complain they haven't received the much-needed handout. The latest blow comes as Americans already face delays in getting the $1,200 government stimulus checks, after it emerged Tuesday that President Donald Trump has ordered that his name be printed on the checks, slowing their delivery by several days. With nearly 17 million Americans filing for unemployment in the last three weeks and the jobless rate reaching its highest point since 1940, millions of households across the nation are desperately waiting to access the federal aid.

A horrifying slow motion video shows the incredible trajectory of a sneeze that may be carrying the coronavirus โ up to 27 feet away. US scientists filmed a clip of a healthy person during a violent exhalation, slowed down from 25 seconds to a minute and a half. They found that found viral droplets expelled in coughs and sneezes can travel in a moist, warm atmosphere at speeds of between 33 and 100 feet per second. This creates an infectious and 'turbulent' gas cloud capable of reaching somewhere between 23 feet to 27 feet away. #coronavirus

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Arizona discovered two migrants hidden in the trunk of a car after they had unlawfully crossed the Mexico-United States border. CBP said in a statement released Tuesday that agents assigned to an immigration checkpoint on state Route 85 near Gila Bend conducted the search of a Buick sedan with a sniffer dog. During the investigation, the Border Patrol officers found that a 39-year-old woman from Phoenix was smuggling the two undocumented individuals. The Honduran migrants were immediately processed and deported to Mexico. CBP said the driver of the vehicle was arrested and could be charged with human trafficking. The federal law enforcement agency said it has expedited the deportation of individuals who are caught entering the United States without legal documentation after the government set up several command stations near the American side of the Mexico-U.S. border.
A truck driver has been rescued from his cab after it was left dangling 70ft over a river when strong winds forced the vehicle through a bridge barrier. Ferocious gusts threw Wayne Boone's empty trailer across the I-64 Highrise Bridge over the Elizabeth River in Chesapeake, Virginia, on Monday morning. Boone faced choppy waters rushing below his windshield as the cab of the jackknifed Freightliner truck swayed over the river in 60 mile per hour winds. Chesapeake firefighters arrived on the scene and after they had secured the truck with ropes, Justin Beazley rappelled from the bridge to rescue Boone, hauling him up to safety in a harness around an hour and half after the crash.
