State and federal authorities are searching for a tractor-trailer in Texas that may be smuggling about 80 undocumented immigrants.
As seen on KABB, it's a desperate search for some 80 alleged victims of a human trafficking operation, trapped in the back of a tanker truck.
The TV station aired one of several 911 calls from someone alleging to be in the tanker with other immigrants.
Operator:
"Do you see anything?"
Caller:
"No, no we can't see anything, god, we don't have oxygen."
Dispatcher:
"You are next to the highway?"
Caller:
"Yes i hear the cars."
The calls were made to both the San Antonio Police Department and the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, and the caller at one point says that some people are already dead.
The Sheriff's Office, Homeland Security Investigations, D.P.S. and San Antonio Police Department are asking anyone with information to come forward.
Tips can be called into the Department of Homeland Security's anonymous tip line. The number is (866) 347-2423.
