Stowaway recalls nightmare in refrigerated truck ordeal
Five Mexican stowaways rode a Chicago bound rail freight from El Paso in a locked 16 inch space atop 35,000 pounds of lettuce. They survived three days by licking moisture, then fell out when doors opened at a Cicero yard. Jose Avelos-Chavez, 21, spent days recovering from hypothermia and vowed never to see lettuce again. He recalled banging for help at every stop during the 2000 mile trip.
