| 2019-03-28 |
| [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. |

| #5 Saving the battery, as they explain that behaviour in Cairo That kinda sort makes sense. Sorta. Hey, if *everyone* turned their lights on, then it would be brighter and they could see and no one would need to turn their lights on. Inshallah, indeed. |

| #4 travelling without its headlights on. Saving the battery, as they explain that behaviour in Cairo — especially when going the wrong way down a one-way street at night at full speed with the lights off. Inshallah, dudes. |

| #1 A group of people had gathered on the dark road at the site of an earlier hit-and-run accident, 1. Why was a articulated truck traveling without lights on a dark road? Illegality? 2. What was the truck hauling? Dope, arms, people? 3. What were 18 people doing on a dark road at night? Who were they? Migrants or others? Bang up job of investigative reporting Aljizz (sarc). |
