The driver saw that police were checking cars in the village of Morahalom, near the border with Serbia, and tried to avoid police officers by increasing the speed of the movement, police told the MTI news agency on Tuesday.
The car, with which ten immigrants were being transported, was headed towards the town of Szeged, then crashed into a house and rolled around, Reuters writes, The Express quoted.
Police said the driver, who has suffered injuries, has been detained and that human trafficking procedures will be initiated against him and caused the fatal mass accident.
The accident occurred near the border of EU member Hungary, with Serbia, which is not part of the bloc. Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government built a siege in 2015, at the height of the immigrant crisis, when hundreds of thousands of people had crossed the border in an effort to go to Western Europe.
