Seven migrants were killed and three others injured in a car accident in Hungary, police announced on Tuesday.
Police stated that the vehicle, ten migrants were travelling in, crashed into a house in Hungary late on Monday after its driver refused to stop for a check.
The driver tried to avoid the police, who were checking cars in the village of Morahalom near the Serbian border, by speeding away, police told the MTI news agency.
Moreover, the police noted that the car was heading towards the town of Szeged, then crashed into a house and rolled over near the border of European Union member Hungary with Serbia, which is not part of the bloc.
Police said that the driver, who was also injured, was detained and proceedings against him would be launched for people trafficking and causing a fatal mass accident.
In 2015, Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government built a fence at the height of the migrant crisis when hundreds of thousands crossed there towards Western Europe.
