A Mexican man has been charged with human smuggling that led to the deaths of 13 Mexican and Guatemalan people in a car crash near Holtville, California, earlier this month.
Jose Cruz Noguez of Mexicali, Mexico, was charged in federal court on Tuesday with coordinating the smuggling event on March 2 that resulted in a mass casualty crash just miles from the U.S.-Mexico border, killing a total of 13 Mexican and Guatemalan nationals.
