Border authorities discovered 73 Syrian migrants packed into the back of a furniture truck on Saturday as the driver tried to cross the Romania-Hungary border.
According to the Associated Press, the truck was bound from Turkey to France when Romanian customs officials stopped the Turkish driver at the Nadlac border crossing. Reports said there were 74 people in the truck, including 73 Syrian nationals and one Iranian, aged from 12 to 41.
The group could face charges for crossing the border illegally, while the driver is suspected of trafficking migrants.
The United Nations High Commission for Refugees reports that there are four million Syrian refugees dispersed worldwide, including nearly 1.8 million Syrians registered in Turkey.
