The grim
discovery was made after a refrigerated vehicle was spotted by a workman on the
hard shoulder of A4 in eastern Austria, near the Hungarian border.
It is
thought the victims became trapped in the trailer and suffocated.
Police originally
said 50 people were believed to have died but have now risen their estimate and
will announce a final total later today.
A massive
manhunt is now thought to be in progress to find those who were driving the
truck.
Helmut
Marban, press officer for Burgenland police, said: "When they checked they
found it had no driver and blood was dripping out of the vehicle and there was
a smell of dead bodies."
