Prague, Sep 3 Czech Police found a truck carrying about 30 migrants on a highway, and one of them was dead.

The police said on social media platform X on Monday that they stopped the truck on the D8 motorway near Veltrusy, north of Prague, after 8:00 p.m. (local time) and detained the migrants aboard, reports Xinhua news agency.

"Everything points to the fact that these are transit migrants, and unfortunately, the initial information from the scene shows one person is dead," the police said without revealing more details.
