Gangsters with ties to the Zetas cartel helped smuggle migrants across the Rio Grande before they were found locked in a tractor-trailer in Texas, it is reported.
A survivor from the trailer, who has not been named, said he was part of a group of 28 people who paid $700 each to be sailed across the Rio Grande on a raft.
After being taken across the river the man said his group were loaded into the trailer, which had a broken air conditioner, along with up to 170 others.
The survivor, who spoke to the Houston Chronicle, said the group sat in the trailer without moving from Saturday morning until around 9pm, when they set off for San Antonio.
