Family of man dumped in Dragoon had heard from his smuggler

Initial investigation indicates that the deceased subject suffered some type of medical condition while travelling through the area in the above mentioned vehicle and the other occupants dumped the person, either still alive or deceased, and then left the area, the news release stated.
That was confirmed by the mans family in Puerto Vallarta, located along the Mexican Riviera in the state of Jalisco, who reached out to the News-Sun after having read the newspapers online report. The News-Sun connected the family with Mexican Consulate and Cochise County Sheriffs Office authorities who then confirmed the mans identity as Ramon Contreras. He had been en route to Utah, his brother said, noting he had been traveling with a false identity.
...We received a phone call from the coyote [smuggler] saying that Ramon had some kind of heart attack and that he was dead, the victims brother relayed via email. He said that they were dropping him out of their truck, and Ramon had a fake ID with a different name, thats what we knew last time we spoke with Ramon. And your [News-Sun] article in particular sounds like the same story we been told from Ramons coyote.

Unfortunately that was our brother. We are in contact with sheriff now and we have sent a picture to them and they have verified as well, family members said.

COCHISE COUNTY, Ariz. (KGUN9-TV) - The Arizona Department of Public Safety has released video captured by a commercial truck driver of the chain of events in which a car swerved to miss a mattress and ended up colliding into the side of a mountain and then rolled over.
DPS says on Wednesday at 11:18 a.m. on westbound I-10 near Dragoon, a green Ford, driven by Briana Disaia, 23, of Texas, swerved to avoid a mattress that was lying in the left traffic lane.
The pickup driver in front of Disaia was able to see the mattress and avoid it.
DPS says Disaia was following too closely and failed to see the mattress early enough to give herself the time to appropriately react.

the boys heard about the crash but nobody heard it on Wednesday and they didn't know it was that close by.
that is some pretty hairy video, can't believe she made it!

I probably would blend with the trucks.
Her survival is outstanding evidence of effective regulation.
