Truck crash on highway in Guatemala kills at least 30 people

At least 30 indigenous Guatemalans were killed on Wednesday night when they were struck on a highway by a semi-trailer truck in a town in the country’s west, rescue workers said.

“Personnel from the Departmental Municipal Firefighters have counted at least 30 dead people at this point,” spokesman Cecilio Chacaj told reporters.

The group had congregated at the site of a hit-and-run accident that had killed one person when they in turn were hit by the truck.
