HIDALGO, Texas (AP) - Federal agents patrolling the banks of the
Rio Grande today seized 410 pounds of cocaine from a pickup.

Officials say the cocaine is worth more than 13 (M) million
dollars.

The driver and passenger fled into thick nearby brush in the
Hidalgo area.

There were no arrests.

The seizure occurred around dawn after agents approached the
truck as it headed north from the river.

The vehicle also was confiscated.
