Eight people believed to be illegal immigrants being
smuggled into the United States were found dead inside a sweltering
18-wheeler trailer parked behind a Walmart store in San Antonio, Texas,
early on Sunday, authorities said.
Another 30 people, many suffering from heat stoke and
exhaustion, were with the bodies in the trailer, which lacked air
conditioning or a water supply, San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood
said.
The truck’s driver was arrested and will be charged, said
Richard Durbin, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas, and
prosecutors will work to identify others responsible.
