New details in Essex lorry case revealed at court
London (VNA) – A British truck driver who discovered 39 dead Vietnamese migrants in a refrigerated lorry waited about 23 minutes before notifying police, a court was told on October 27. Maurice Robinson, 26, had collected the sealed container from the southeast English port of Purfleet after it had arrived on a cargo ship from Zeebrugge in Belgium, and opened its doors shortly afterwards in nearby Thurrock in the early hours of October 23 last year. Inside he found the bodies of the migrants who had suffocated to death after being trapped in the dark inside for at least 12 hours, in unbearably high temperatures.

Lexus Vietnam also recalled 1,334 cars that were built from 2017 to 2019. Those cars have shown error warnings, vibrating engines, failure to start or sudden stop while running. Those errors are caused by a fuel pump inside the fuel tank. The pumps may have low quality and lost their shapes and become broken when the cars are fuelled. Both Toyota and Lexus Vietnam said they would replace the fuel pump for free for all of their customers who are affected. The repair will take up to four and a half hours to complete. Customers can directly contact Toyota or Lexus agents in Vietnam for the repair. People who bought those cars via unofficial channels will also get support.
