Fifteen migrants from Eritrea were rescued from a refrigerated lorry on a motorway parking area in northern France on Saturday; the vehicle was en route to the United Kingdom and a few of the migrants were suffering from hypothermia, according to local authorities reported by AFP.
The migrants, including one woman, were found inside the lorry transporting vegetables after the driver heard noises. “Due to the hypothermia, we assume they had been in there for several hours,” stated Christian Vedelago, chief of staff for the prefect of the Pas-de-Calais department.
