Two Border Patrol agents were in critical condition Wednesday after their patrol vehicle collided with a tractor trailer in Texas the day before. 

One of the agents was unresponsive and life-flighted to a hospital. The other agent was taken to a nearby hospital.

The crash happened near Kingsville on Highway 285, where both vehicles were traveling eastbound. 

The tractor-trailer struck the agent’s driver-side door, according to Nueces County emergency officials. 

Both agents received surgery and were in critical but stable condition Wednesday. 

The crash remains under investigation.
