At least 22 dead, up to 60 missing in Guatemala landslide

GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala (CNN) - At least 22 people died and up to 60
more are missing in a landslide in Guatemala, rescue officials said Monday.

A landslide in the same area in northwest Guatemala killed two people
December 14.

Six people were injured and 40 to 60 were missing in Sunday's landslide,
which blocked nearly one mile of road between Chicaman and San Cristobal
Verapaz, said Hugo Arbizu, spokesman for the national disaster agency.

The tragedy occurred when travelers got out of a truck Sunday and started
to walk across a path below the part of the road blocked by the previous
landslide, Arbizu told CNN. Around 11:30 a.m., more than 10 tons of dirt and
rock fell on them.
