Eight people including two children are dead and others have been taken to hospitals after they were discovered in the back of an 18-wheeler in San Antonio. Police Chief William McManus said officers responded to a call from a Walmart parking lot located at 8358 IH-35 S on the city’s southwest side Saturday night. An employee called police about possible illegal immigrants after someone from the truck asked for water. Nearly 40 people were reportedly inside the trailer with at least 20 suffering from serious medical conditions including dehydration. The driver of the truck is in custody.
