Incident

Border Patrol Agent Jason Panides was struck by a tractor-trailer and killed shortly after arresting several illegal immigrants about 11 miles north of Laredo, Texas.

As Agent Panides walked along the shoulder of an access road for I-35 near the arrest scene the tractor-trailer veered off of the roadway and struck him. He succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

Agent Panides had served with the United States Border Patrol for four years.

Rest in peace Border Patrol Agent Panides.
