Six migrants, including Palestinians, were wounded in traffic accident on the Hungary-Austria border as Austrian police were chasing a car carrying migrants from Hungary.
Police attempted to stop the smuggler van, with 15 migrants onboard, before it hit a school wall. The driver was arrested. Six migrants were transferred to the hospital for treatment.
Hungary is on the so-called Balkan route, which migrants take from Turkey via several south-eastern European countries to Western Europe. Serious accidents involving migrant smugglers are frequent, because the drivers are under a lot of stress, and are sometimes also being chased by the police.Â
