Around 8:30 a.m. Sunday, a car crashed into a group of pedestrians in Brownsville, Texas. Police said seven people died and six people are being treated for serious and minor injuries.

Investigators did not say whether the crash was intentional or whether the driver had a motive.
Martin Sandoval of the Brownsville Police Department told Fox News that it had been confirmed that migrants were among the victims.
A Brownsville Police Department representative told ABC News that the crash happened near a bus stop and the Ozanam Center in Brownsville.
The Ozanam Center is a migrant and homeless shelter that provides “housing to the homeless, regardless of sex, color, creed and national origin.” The center welcomes and feeds up to 200 people in need.
Brownsville is a popular destination for illegal immigrants entering the country from Mexico.
