94 migrants escape suffocation in truck in Mexico

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Authorities in Mexico say at least 94 migrants had to bash their way out of a suffocating freight trailer abandoned on a highway in the steamy Gulf coast state of Veracruz. The head of the state migrant attention office said Thursday the migrants were forced to break holes in the freight container to get out, some apparently through the roof. Some were injured when they leapt from the roof of the trailer, but their injuries were not considered life-threatening. The discovery of the trailer Wednesday recalled the tragedy in San Antonio, Texas on June 27, when 53 migrants died because they had been left in a freight truck.
