In addition to the many dead, another 16 people have been transported to hospital, reports KSAT and refers to sources in the police. These patients should have varying health conditions. There is a large number of emergency services on site, with ambulances going in shuttle traffic to hospitals. It is not yet known who the people who were transported in the hold of the lorry are, but it is assumed that they are migrants. There have been several cases, in a number of countries, where human traffickers transport refugees and migrants in cargo holds where there is not enough air, and where people are thus suffocated. The train is found in a remote area, near a railroad line southwest of San Antonio. Police officers at the San Antonio crime scene. Photo: KAYLEE GREENLEE BEAL / Reuters
