Migrant crisis: Austrian police work to recover bodies from lorry
Forensic teams are working through the night to establish how many people died inside a lorry found abandoned on a motorway near the Hungarian border, Austrian police say.
Police estimate 20-50 people, almost certainly migrants, were in the lorry.
The victims were probably already dead when the vehicle crossed into Austria, authorities said.
The local police chief said he hoped to give more information on the number of bodies on Friday morning.
Hans Peter Doskozil said the lorry had been towed to a former veterinary border facility with refrigeration facilities in Nickelsdorf, where the bodies were to be removed.
