Two undocumented Egyptians were killed around 1am on Thursday 17th November on the A16 near Dunkerque when a Dutch HGV drove into the back of the car they were traveling in. The driver and the front seat passenger of the car, assumed to people traffickers, fled the scene, while the three other passengers, also undocumented Egyptians, were picked up on the roadside by the authorities. Breath tests on the HGV driver were negative.
