MEXICO CITY (AP) Authorities in Mexico said Thursday that at least 94 migrants had to bash their way out of a suffocating freight trailer abandoned on a highway in the steamy Gulf coast state of Veracruz.
The migrants come from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador and were turned over to authorities. The incident comes after more than 50 migrants were found dead in a semi-trailer in Texas last month.
ACAYUCAN, Mexico (Reuters) - Mexican authorities rescued nearly 100 migrants who escaped from a stifling trailer being driven by a people smuggler in the coastal state of Veracruz, officials said on Thursday.
