A video shared by Texas DPS on Wednesday shows a trooper led on a high-speed pursuit on US-90 in Kinney County. The driver reached speeds of 120 mph before losing control and crashing into a light pole in front of a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint.

The driver and passenger, both from Austin, Texas, admitted that they were getting paid $9,000 to smuggle three illegal immigrants from Honduras to Austin. Both were charged with human smuggling, evading arrest and engaging in organized criminal activity.
