- Teenager was attempting to smuggle himself into the UK
LONDON: A 16-year-old Sudanese boy has died in France while trying to enter a lorry bound for Britain.
Sources told The Independent that the teenager was attempting to smuggle himself into the UK, but was run over by the lorry he was trying to board. There will be a post-mortem and investigation.
“CCTV footage from the parking area and the testimony of the security guard who witnessed the incident indicated that the driver did not notice the accident and did not stop,” said Philippe Sabatier, deputy public prosecutor for the city of Boulogne-sur-Mer.
At least three other migrants have reportedly died on the roads around Calais, where the Channel Tunnel transit departs for Britain.
