Police said the driver, who was also injured, was detained, and that proceedings against him would be launched for people trafficking and causing a fatal accident. Migrants have for years been using routes through Balkan countries to reach wealthier European nations such as German, the Netherlands and Britain. The number of migrants who illegally entered European Union member states doubled from the previous year, the bloc’s border agency Frontex said in August. The majority of migrants came from Afghanistan and Syria.
