This tragic scene shows a desperate young illegal immigrant who nearly died after curling up inside a lorry's spare WHEEL. The determined teenage stowaway hid inside half of a spare wheel in the false bottom of the vehicle.
Spanish police said the young man could have suffocated because of the lack of air in the cramped space, petrol fumes and the scorching heatwave where temperatures have hit 40 degrees.
He was found by customs officers at Aduana de Beni-Enzar in Melilla where thousands of immigrants are trying to get across the border.
One boy was recently discovered hidden in a suitcase whilst others have unbelievably climbed into car engines or hidden under lorry axles. The stowaway pictured above was however not alone. Officers found two other immigrants in the same vehicle, both hidden in cramped spaces in a hidden compartment under the floor of the lorry.
They are all of sub-Saharan nationality aged between 18 and 25. All three had to be given first-aid at the scene as officers feared they could die.

It is very sad reading stories of young ones trying to immigrate to another country through illegall means all in the bid to carve out a better life for themselves. It is also bad living in a country where the government do not provide employment opportunities to thousand of youths who are "employable " (well, some are not)
No matter how difficult it is, there are a million youth out there who despite of the hard situations are making a name for themselves throug hardwork and determination. Youth who are not deterred by the harsh economic situations but are very optimistic in the future they struggle to make better.
Who says a good thing cannot come out of Nazereth?
