Manhunt Launched After Hit-And-Run Driver Kills 18 Guatemalans – Channels Television

Updated March 28, 2019Guatemala launched a manhunt on Thursday after 18 indigenous Guatemalans were killed in a hit-and-run by a truck driver who fled the scene.

A group of people had converged at the entrance of the town, at the scene of another hit-and-run in which a local community leader was killed, when they in turn were hit by a truck with its lights off on a road without street lighting. “In total there are 18 deaths that have been counted in this tragedy,” fire department spokesman Cecilio Chacaj told AFP, revising down a previous toll of 30 that he attributed to early chaos on the scene where bodies were piled up on top of another.Another 20 people were injured in the accident, several seriously, and were being treated in hospitals.

“We are currently coordinating actions to provide all the support to the victims’ families,” he said.Police spokesman Pablo Castillo told reporters that an operation was underway to track down the driver.

18 people die and a country declares 3 days of national mourning. And daily thousands die in Nigeria and we don't flinch and we wonder why the world doesn't place value on a Nigerian life? We show them how not to. 😔
