Human smuggling trial could hear from survivor of frigid cross-border walk

The trial for two men accused of human smuggling is expected to hear from a migrant who survived a dangerous walk across the Canada-U.S. Border in a blizzard.
Steve Shand and Harshkumar Patel are charged with organizing illegal crossings of people from India, and they have pleaded not guilty.
One crossing they organized resulted in a family of four freezing to death while trying to walk in severe conditions, as reported by border officials.
