Delta’s TT218EC Manual Beam Prevented Intruder from Crossing San Ysidro Port of Entry from Tijuana

Delta Scientific announced that a man from Santa Ana, Calif. attempted to cross from Tijuana into the United States via a closed lane at the San Ysidro Port of Entry south of San Diego on the afternoon of December 22 (2020). The Hyundai sedan struck a Delta Scientific TT218EC manual beam vehicle access barrier on the American side of the border. The driver was instantly killed.

“The motive for the driver’s intention is still under investigation,” reports Greg Hamm, Delta Scientific vice president of sales and marketing.

“He had already hit two people on the Mexican side of the border before crashing into the TT218EC, which is a high security horizontal swing barrier with a K4 crash rating that is typical of the quality and strength of a Delta Scientific made barrier.?

Beam barriers are the perfect solution for ingress and egress applications where you want to leave the roadway undisturbed. Source: deltascientific.com
