71 Refugees Found Dead in Abandoned Truck on Austrian Highway

Found in the safety lane on a stretch of highway between Budapest and Vienna, the latest tragedy of the refugee crises in Europe unfolded.

At a news conference, authorities confirmed the final number of victims and provided a further breakdown: 59 men, 8 women, 4 children. One infant was among the dead.
