San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said officers received a call 10 minutes before 6 p.m. Monday to the 9600 block of Quintana Road when a person working nearby heard a cry for help.

When the worker approached, he saw several bodies inside an 18-wheeler trailer with its doors partially open.

Crews with San Antonio Fire Department arrived at the scene to find “stacks of bodies” in the trailer and many people too weak to let themselves out, according to SAFD Chief Charles Hood.

Hood said 46 people, men and women who ranged from teens to young adults, were pronounced dead at the scene.
