Cochise County Search and Rescue rescued two "hikers" in Cochise Stronghold, only to learn later that they were illegal immigrants on the run from Border Patrol.
At about 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 6, the Cochise County Sheriff's Office sent Search and Rescue out on a call about two hikers who were "lost and dehydrated in west Cochise Stronghold," said CCSO spokeswoman Carol Capas.
The adult man and juvenile female had called 911, saying that they had been in the area without water for a day and that the man was diabetic.
Both Search and Rescue and the Geronimo helicopter responded, with the Geronimo crew spotting the two stranded people and transporting them to the command post.
Medics with Healthcare Innovations checked the man and girl, who were transported to Benson Hospital for further treatment.
Upon further investigation, the Sheriff's Office discovered that the two people were not hikers, but rather the driver and passenger from a car that had led U.S. Border Patrol agents on a high-speed chase from Lordsburg, N.M., in the early morning hours that day, Capas said.
The adult man and juvenile female were turned over to the Border Patrol at the Benson Hospital.

5 dead after SUV fleeing Border Patrol crashes in South Texas

Authorities said the crash occurred on Texas 85 in Dimmit County near Big Wells, east of Eagle Pass.
BIG WELLS, Texas (AP) — At least five people were killed and several others hurt Sunday as an SUV carrying more than a dozen people crashed while fleeing from Border Patrol agents in South Texas.
The SUV went out of control at more than 100 mph and overturned on Texas Highway 85, ejecting those inside, Dimmit County Sheriff Marion Boyd said.
Four victims were dead at the scene, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. A fifth person died at a hospital.
Most of the occupants were believed in the country without legal permission. Boyd told San Antonio television station WOAI the driver and one passenger were believed to be U.S. citizens. The driver was among those hospitalized and he and the passenger were in custody.
"This, I think, is a perfect example, of why are borders need to be secured," Boyd said.
Some injured were taken by helicopter to San Antonio, about 90 miles (144.83 kilometers) northeast. Dimmit County is directly north of Webb County and east of Maverick County, which border Mexico.
The incident comes amid heightened tensions over the treatment of immigrants at the southern border. The Trump administration has said tougher immigration policies — even separating children from their parents — are needed to deter immigrants from coming to the country illegally. Over a six-week period ending in May, about 2,000 children had been separated from their families, administration officials said Friday.
