Quite possibly as I believe El Centro is quite close to the Mexican border.

with 3 times the number of occupants that it was designed for ,the brakes won't have coped well. and the driver's view of the road was probably compromised  :-\
Very common in Africa to ram as many people as possible onto a matatu ( a bus the locals use ) an experience I probably won't try again  :D

I've been to El Centro a few times (big US Navy Airfield there). The area has lots of remote farms with very large fields, and the farmworkers are often transported around in the back of a flatbed truck or pickup truck.
