The migrants come from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador and were turned over to authorities. The incident comes after more than 50 migrants were found dead in a semi-trailer in Texas last month.Almost 100 migrants were left abandoned in a freight trailer on a highway in Mexico and had to break their way out to escape suffocation, Mexican authorities said Thursday.

The latest discovery comes just weeks after authorities found 600 migrants inside two semi trucks (pictured above) in the state of Veracruz
 
The 94 undocumented foreigners, including several children, from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were turned over to immigration authorities, according to Mexican officials. Around 100 more were believed to have fled.

The migrants were bound for the US border and were discovered on Wednesday night on a highway in the eastern state of Veracruz.

"They indicated that they were abandoned by the driver," a police report said.
