SKOPJE, North Macedonia — Police in North Macedonia say they have found 55 migrants in two separate incidents.
One migrant was injured when the truck carrying him and 42 others hit a concrete pillar at a toll station.
Both incidents took place Friday, police announced Saturday, and all the migrants will be deported back to Greece, where they came from.
