At least 10 die in truck plunge in Guatemala

At least 10 people died and 20 were injured when a truck carrying wood and workers plunged into a ravine in eastern Guatemala, a local official has said.
"The lamentable tragedy" occurred late Wednesday near El Estor, 160 kilometres from the capital, Mayor Rony Mendez told reporters.
He said a mechanical problem might have been the cause.
The truck's 45-year-old driver survived. He did not have a driving license and was in policy custody.
