Have you ever wanted to use your truck as a boat? Well, some smugglers in Texas learned that Ram trucks aren’t built to cross rivers. That’s why they put it on a poorly made raft to sneak drugs across the Rio Grande into Texas.

No matter where you fall on the issue of immigration or border protection, you can’t deny that a few ICE agents had an entertaining day. 

They were watching men on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande make a raft. They were spotted with a Dodge Ram truck at the Rio Grande, south of Harlingen, Texas. 

Agents watched the men place the truck on a raft made out of wooden pallets and 55-gallon drums. According to My RGV, they entered the water and successfully got the truck to the Texas side. The men started unloading it. 

Then the truck sped away heading north, through a gap in the border wall. But they must have gotten spooked! As agents approached, the truck turned around and went back to the river crossing. 

This time it drove directly into the water and started sinking. Several passengers got out with bundles of narcotics and marijuana. They took the drugs back to the Mexican side of the river. 

ICE agents recovered five bundles of marijuana that were floating away. They believe narcotics could be in the cabin of the Ram truck. A Border Patrol tactical unit was contacted to provide a dive assessment and possibly retrieve drugs from the sunken vehicle.
