Police stop truck with 30 migrants on highway, one woman dies

Czech police stopped a truck on carrying around 30 migrants, some of whom attempted to flee unsuccessfully. The migrants were found in poor health, and one woman tragically died despite rescue efforts. The highway D8 connecting Bohemia and Germany, was partially closed for about 30 minutes on Monday evening. The migrants, who were in transit and not headed for Czechia, have all been detained. Rescue workers treated the remaining migrants on-site, but none required hospitalization.
