Two men, stopped on suspicion of human trafficking of three migrants, are detained by the U.S. Border Patrol on Feb. 17, 2023, in Hereford. The driver, at center in gray, drove his mother's car from California and stopped to pick up the migrants on the side of the highway in front of a Border Patrol agent, authorities said.

San Diego, California – Chaos broke out on the U.S.-Mexico border in Otay Mesa when three adults took a terrifying tumble from a towering 30-foot border barrier—and lived to tell the tale. The drama unfolded around lunchtime on Friday at the intersection of Drucker Lane and La Media Road, where authorities say a man and two women tried to sneak into the U.S. by scaling the mammoth fence.

But things took a dangerous turn when all three lost their grip and plunged to the ground below. Emergency crews from San Diego Fire-Rescue rushed to the scene shortly after 12:15 p.m., responding to frantic calls for help. Border Patrol and paramedics quickly assessed the trio, who, despite their harrowing fall, escaped with injuries that weren’t considered life-threatening.

The injured individual was spotted upright and alert, favoring a hurt foot or leg after the ordeal.

At the scene, a swarm of Border Patrol vehicles—including three SUVs and a pickup truck—joined forces with a San Diego County fire engine, securing the area as investigators pieced together what led three desperate border crossers to take such a perilous risk.
