Three service members were in a crash near the United States-Mexico border in New Mexico. Two were killed and the third was in “serious” condition, military officials said Tuesday.

New Mexico’s Highway 9 at mile marker 115 near the Santa Teresa Border Patrol Station in Santa Teresa was where the crash was reported. The area is adjacent to the border and is about 13 miles north of El Paso.

The crash happened at about 8:50 a.m., according to Joint Task Force Southern Border.

Details regarding the dead and injured, including their assignments, were unavailable. Joint Task Force Southern Border was not immediately responsive to a request regarding more information on the evening of April 15th.

The service members were assigned to the task force. This year, it consolidated military command at the border after President Trump tapped the defense budget for the effort.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered nearly 3,000 active-duty troops in March. He wanted them to amass at the U.S.-Mexico border as part of Trump’s effort to shut down drug traffic and immigration. The Defense Department said the forces include elements of a Stryker brigade combat team and a general support aviation battalion.

According to KTSM, the Doña Ana County Sheriff’s Office initially reported that the three service members had been taken to a hospital by helicopter.

Images show parts of a vehicle off the roadway and down a decline.

The joint task force said the cause of the crash is under investigation.
