The poor sods in the back of the lorry were already dead when the mad dog oranje

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

lorry driver picked them up. Some 10 minutes into his journey he will have received a call from his paymasters or called them to be told "Jesus fockin Christ Mo - you were supposed to be there 12 hours ago, they'll all be dead."

It's the only explanation for him pulling over because the cargo certainly weren't making any noises.
