According to the source, the driver of the truck in which those migrants were trying to travel heard noises coming from the trailer when he arrived at the Ipsala Truck Park in Edirne province.

The driver opened the trailer and saw four male irregular migrants lying motionless inside.

Health teams arrived at the scene and declared two of those migrants dead, while the other two were referred to a hospital where, despite all efforts, they could not be saved.

The driver told local authorities that the undocumented refugees might have gotten into the trailer when he stopped to take a break in the Gelibolu district.

Türkiye has been an essential transit point for irregular migrants seeking to enter Europe to start a new life, particularly those fleeing war and persecution.
