West African migrants found hiding in car engine
This is the moment a West African migrant was found curled up inside a car engine while trying to smuggle himself into Spain.
It is not clear how long the man had been inhaling the fumes for after the shocking discovery was made in the Spanish territory of Ceuta after coming from Morocco.
Another man was found hidden behind the back seat of the Mercedes-300 car which was stopped by Spanish police late on Sunday night during a customs check at El Tarajal, near the Moroccan border.
The two men from Guinea were given first aid, having suffered from a lack of oxygen, Spain's Guardia Civil police said.
Sub-Saharan Africans often try to enter Ceuta, as a gateway to the EU.
The Mercedes 300 was found to have false number plate and police detained two Moroccan men who were in the car when it was stopped.
The two illegal migrants did not have any papers, and were identified in the statement only as "TD and AB from Guinea Conakry".
They are also under official investigation now.
