TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- A border rights coalition has asked federal officials to suspend Border Patrol high-speed chases pending a review of a deadly Yuma-area rollover two weeks ago.

The letter from the Los Angeles-based Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law also asked Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and the heads of Customs and Border Protection and the Border Patrol to update their hot pursuit policies.

The letter was sent on behalf of the Border Human Rights Working Group.

That's a coalition of organizations involved in human rights advocacy in the four states bordering Mexico.

On August seventh, nine of 20 illegal immigrants crammed into a sport utility vehicle died after a rollover crash. Investigators say the driver swerved to avoid a spike strip.

A tenth passenger died last week in a Phoenix hospital.
