Ещё не менее двадцати в критическом состоянии в местных госпиталях. Всего в траке было более 100 чел., упакованных как сендвич. Водитель рефрижератора перевозил их нелегально через границу. Холодильник в рефрижераторе не работал, люди пытались дышать через отверстие в полу. Часть людей, кто ещё мог стоять на ногах стучали в стены, но водитель гнал вперёд, как ни в чём не бывало.
Многие из пострадавших будут страдать от необратимых повреждений мозга.

Others banged on the wall to get the driver's attention but he kept going, one man who survived the journey told federal authorities.
The driver, James Matthew Bradley Jr. told federal investigators he had no idea dozens of undocumented immigrants were stuffed inside tractor-trailer he was hauling. The 60-year-old Florida man was charged Monday with knowingly transporting undocumented immigrants.
The assistant public federal defender who is representing Bradley couldn't be reached for comment.
The tractor-trailer was found parked at a Walmart in San Antonio early Sunday morning after an employee at the store called police. Authorities found dozens of undocumented immigrants inside.
Eight people in the truck were already dead, and two more died after being hospitalized. Dozens more were severely injured, and many will suffer from "irreversible brain damage," the city's fire chief said.
