[Aljazeera] At least 30 people were killed and several others injured in western Guatemala after they were hit by an articulated truck, local authorities and President Jimmy Morales said.
A group of people had gathered on the dark road at the site of an earlier hit-and-run accident, which had killed one person, when the truck struck them.
The truck was apparently travelling without its headlights on. The driver did not stop.
"With regret, I'm saddened by the tragedy which happened in the municipality of Nahuala, Solola, which has left more than 30 people dead in a traffic accident," Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales said in a tweet in Spanish. |
