A people smuggling gang abandoned up to 50 dead refugees at the side of an Austrian motorway after they suffocated in the back of an air-tight refrigerated truck that usually carried frozen chicken.
The victims were found on a motorway near the town of Parndorf in eastern Austria.
The bodies were abandoned in the back of an Hungarian-registered truck. Hungarian authorities confirmed they believe that the driver was Romanian.
Police spokesman Helmut Marban said police stopped shortly before noon today thinking that the parked truck had some mechanical trouble. Then they "saw blood dripping" from the vehicle and "noticed the smell of dead bodies," he said.
