46 Dead, 16 Hospitalized in Texas After Trailer of Migrants Found Near Rail Tracks
San Antonio: Forty-six people were found dead and 16 others were taken to hospitals after a tractor-trailer rig containing suspected migrants was found Monday on a remote back road in southwest San Antonio. A city worker at the scene was alerted to the situation by a cry for help shortly before 6 p.m. Monday. Police arrived to find a body on the ground outside the trailer and a partially opened gate to the trailer.
Of the 16 taken to hospitals with heat-related illnesses, 12 were adults and four were children, said Fire Chief Charles Hood. The patients were hot to the touch and dehydrated, and no water was found in the trailer, he said.
The latest report says, Three people were taken into custody, but it was unclear if they were absolutely connected with human trafficking.
