A refrigerated truck carrying eight migrants was discovered by French authorities on Sunday in the northern port city of Calais.
Four adults and four children, who said they were from Afghanistan, were taken to the hospital for treatment after showing signs of hypothermia after riding in the vehicle.
The temperature inside of the truck was set to 7 degrees Celsius, according to the news agency AFP.
The vehicle had just driven onto a ferry headed for the UK when authorities discovered people hiding in a section of the refrigerated truck.
The two drivers of the truck, who police said were Romanian nationals, were taken into custody.
