How Do We Help Migrants?
At least 55 people were killed and more than 100 injured when a truck overturned in southern Mexico on Thursday, December 9th 2021 with most of the victims believed to be migrants from Central America, according to local authorities.
The incident happened in Mexico’s Chiapas state, which borders Guatemala, when the truck carrying dozens of migrants crashed. Photos from the scene show the truck on its side next to a footbridge and bodies laid out on the road wrapped in body bags.
In video footage taken shortly after the accident, people could be seen spilled out on to the road, next to a white trailer that had split open. The vehicle crashed on a tight bend outside the city of Tuxtla Gutierrez, the Chiapas state capital.
Later images showed victims of the crash on a red tarp as people tended to them.
One man, who was in the truck at the time of the accident but escaped uninjured, told CNN that he had traveled from Guatemala. All he remembered was the vehicle overturning and “a lot of dust,” he said.
