Shock find in pick-up truck

A US tow company employee was taking inventory of an impounded pick-up truck when he heard pounding and screaming coming from inside.

He and other workers had to unbolt the back seat of the Toyota Tundra before they found a Chinese man in the country illegally hidden in a specially built compartment.

Border Patrol spokesman Mark Endicott said the man in the truck and the man who had been driving it had both been arrested. The truck had been impounded after the owner was cited for speeding and driving without a licence.
