Brakes failed : Guatemala bus crash kills 14
At least 14 former paramilitary group members are dead as the result of a bus crash in Guatemala. BBC News Online reports that at least 25 other paramilitaries were injured. According to the Herald Sun, at least 50 were injured in the crash.The incident happened when the bus was near the city of San Marcos. In the early hours of the morning, the bus departed from the mountain road and went into a ravine that is 50 metres (164 feet) in depth. There were approximately 60 passengers on the vehicle when the accident occurred.
Injured survivors of the crash were transported to local hospitals. One of the survivors of the accident explained to the local media that "the driver was going very fast and when we got to the curve his brakes failed and we went into the ravine". Rescue crews have also suggested that braking system problems were the cause of the crash. According to BBC News Online, road traffic collisions often occur on the mountainous Guatemalan roads.
All of the passengers of the vehicle are participators of a reforestation program created by the government and were travelling towards the municipality of Concepción Tutuapa to receive payment for their work on the project, which was created by the government to give them employment. Previously, the military had created the group to assist in fighting against political left-wing rebels during the Guatemalan Civil War.
