Dozens of Central American migrants, including 23 unaccompanied children, were rescued Friday from a box truck abandoned on the side of a highway amid sweltering temperatures in the southeastern state of Veracruz, according to the Mexico’s National Institute of Migration (INM).
“The INM rescued 148 migrants who were traveling overcrowded in the box of a trailer and were abandoned in life-threatening conditions on the side of the Minatitlán, Cordova highway,” the institute said in a statement.
The truck was abandoned by the driver who is still at large, INM added.
The migrants came from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, INM wrote. Of the 148 people rescued there were women and men traveling solo, 23 unaccompanied minors and 44 families – which consisted of 115 people.
