A newly installed section of the southern border wall fell over onto the Mexican side Wednesday after strong winds whipped through the area.
According to Agent Carlos Pitones from the US Customs and Border Protection, the concrete panels were still fresh and couldn’t stand up to the reportedly 37 mph gusts.
Video shared by CNN affiliate KYMA shows the section leaning over and partially held up by some trees.
No one was hurt, says Pitones, who adds, “Luckily, Mexican authorities responded quickly and were able to divert traffic from the nearby street.”
