Sixteen people were taken to hospitals after the lorry was found on a remote back road near San Antonio, on the border with Mexico.
A San Antonio Fire Department official said they found "stacks of bodies" and no signs of water in the truck, which was found abandoned next to railroad tracks in a remote area on the city's southern outskirts.At least 46 people, who are believed migrant workers from Mexico, were found dead in an abandoned tractor trailer in San Antonio.Twelve of these were adults and four were children, and they were hot to the touch and dehydrated, fire chief Charles Hood said.
"More than 40 hopeful lives were lost. I urge you to think compassionately, pray for the deceased, the ailing, and their families at this moment."Migrants seeking asylum should always be treated as a humanitarian crisis, but this evening we're facing a horrific human tragedy.
