VICTORIA, Texas — An 18-wheeler with a trailer containing 18 suspected illegal immigrants was found Friday outside of Victoria, Texas -- near where 17 immigrants were found dead in an abandoned trailer just two days ago.
Friday's incident involves a rest stop on U.S. Highway 59, 10 miles east of Victoria. Authorities say a concerned motorist notified law officers.
No deaths have been reported Friday. The suspected immigrants were given water and medical attention, as a precaution.
Authorities detained the driver for questioning.
Meanwhile, a trucker from New York remains in custody in Houston on federal charges over Wednesday's deadly incident, in which an 18th person died later. Three other suspected smugglers are sought in that case.
Victoria is about 120 miles southwest of Houston.
