Mexican woman dies after attempting to climb border wall in Arizona

A Mexican woman attempting to climb the US border wall in eastern Arizona died after her leg became trapped in a climbing harness and she was left hanging upside down, authorities said.

Migrants have also died while attempting to cross the border wall. Earlier this month a man died after falling from the barrier in Texas. Another man who fell from the border wall near Clint, Texas, about 12 miles from the Tornillo port of entry, suffered a fractured right hand. He received treatment at a hospital before border patrol officials returned him to Mexico.
