Three children have been found in a critical condition after being rescued from a lorry in Austria that contained 26 migrants, police said.<\/p>\n
The lorry was stopped in Braunau district and the Romanian driver was arrested after a chase.<\/p>\n
Those inside were said to be from Syria, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.<\/p>\n
Separately, four men appeared in court in Hungary following the discovery of another truck in Austria last week containing the bodies of 71 people.<\/p>\n
The three Bulgarians and an Afghan, who were arrested in Hungary, were remanded in custody until 29 September. Austria is expected to seek their extradition.<\/p>\n
In the latest incident – which happened early on Friday but was not reported until Saturday – the three children were taken to hospital suffering from severe dehydration.<\/p>\n
Officials said their lives were no longer in danger but they are still in hospital.<\/p>\n
Police had tried to stop the vehicle near St Peter am Hart and gave chase when it drove off at speed.<\/p>\n
The discovery of the 71 bodies in the lorry left on a roadside near the Hungarian border last week led to an outcry.<\/p>\n
Officials said the 59 men, eight women and four children had probably died of suffocation two days earlier.<\/p>\n
Police were alerted when a road worker saw liquid seeping from the vehicle and the badly decomposing bodies were found inside. The victims are thought to be mainly Syrians.<\/p>\n
Police believe the vehicle found its way there as part of a Bulgarian-Hungarian human smuggling network.<\/p>\n
