Headline : Ten Cuban migrants hiding in truck die in

Mexico accident

At least 10 Cuban migrants who were hiding in a cargo

truck have died after the vehicle overturned on a
highway in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas.

The accident took place near the Guatemalan border,

AFP reported citing local security officials.

At least 17 others were injured, local officials said,

adding that one of the victims was a child. One report
said all were female.

It was the second fatal crash in less than a week

involving migrants.
The driver of the truck, which is not designed to carry
so many people, fled the scene of the accident, the
National Migration Institute (INM) said in a statement.

"According to the first reports, the driver was

speeding, lost control of the unit and overturned," the
INM added.

The accident occurred on a stretch of the motorway

along the Pacific coast which migrants often use in
attempts to reach the US.

Images shared by authorities showed a truck without

number plates turned on its side in a ditch by the
highway, with the migrants' clothes and backpacks
strewn around.

Road accidents involving migrants are not uncommon

in Mexico, where many people cross the country in
unauthorised and poorly maintained vehicles.

Just days ago, another truck carrying migrants

overturned in another part of the same state, killing
two migrants.

Thousands of migrants from different countries have

been traveling through Mexico in buses, trailers and
freight trains to be able to reach the United States.
