ALAMO - A human smuggling attempt caused damage to several fences at the Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge.
    
Border Patrol (BP) says the incident happened Friday.

Agents were responding to a call of a vehicle loading up with people potentially in the U.S. Illegally.

BP says when agents approached a gold Dodge Caravan made an abrupt U-turn and drove south into the refuge.

The driver of the vehicle damaged three gates before coming to a stop.

The driver and a passenger bailed out and fled into Mexico.

Five people in the country illegally were taken into custody.
