80 mph in a 55 mph zone. When the driver, Dimas Daniel Orundo-Lopez,
40, made a U-turn the back tire on the driver's side came off the
vehicle, according to PCSO deputies.

U.S. Border Patrol agents from Yuma Sector arrested five drug
smugglers and seized 246 pounds of marijuana during two separate
incidents on Friday. A Mexican man was also arrested the same day at
the San Luis II commercial port for attempting to smuggle 669 pounds
of marijuana into the country.
On Friday, agents patrolling in the area discovered footprints 15
miles south of Tacna. Following the tracks, the agents later caught
up with five Mexican nationals who were wearing camouflage clothing
and carrying a total of 190 pounds of marijuana.
Later in the day, agents located three abandoned backpacks of
marijuana south of Interstate 8, near mile marker 93. The three
bundles had a combined weight of 56 pounds.
The total estimated value of the two seizures was $123,000.
Also on Friday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the
San Luis II commercial port referred a 48-year-old driver for an
additional inspection of the tractor-trailer he was driving.
After an anomaly was discovered using a commercial x-ray system, a
CBP narcotics detection canine alerted to the presence of drugs in
the back of the trailer. A further search led to the discovery of 27
packages of marijuana hidden behind the back wall of the trailer.
The drugs and tractor-trailer were processed for seizure. The subject
was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland
Security Investigations.
"CBP officers employed several layers of enforcement to identify and
locate this drug load," said CBP Assistant Port Director Chris Leon.
"Their hard work stopped another significant amount of marijuana from
reaching its intended destination."
Yuma County residents can help the Border Patrol and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection by calling 1-866-999-8727 toll-free to report
suspicious activity. Callers can remain anonymous.
