Authorities are investigating after an 18-wheeler allegedly filled with dozens of illegal immigrants was discovered in San Antonio.
Police said the truck was pulled over at an interstate truck stop on Thursday, and the immigrants started fleeing the moment officers began talking to the driver.
Witnesses say around 80 to 100 immigrants were inside the truck.
Officials say 29 immigrants who stayed at the gas station are being taken to a federal processing center.
The driver of the truck is in custody and Homeland Security is investigating.
