SAN ANTONIO — Police are searching for "anywhere from 80 to 100" individuals believed to be migrants who fled on foot from the back of an 18-wheeler at a truck stop on the city's far northeast side.
Sometime after 6 p.m. Thursday, a massive response from city emergency units was called to the TA truck stop off I-10 at Foster Road. An SAPD spokesperson told KENS 5 police received reports of a "suspicious big rig" driving on I-10 with people potentially being smuggled inside.
