accident Man in pickup tumbles down ravine to his death after cable snaps during rescue operation

[Lord Gutsy]

A tragic traffic accident occurred in the municipality of Barillas, Huehuetenango, when a pickup truck that was being recovered by a tow truck after having suffered a previous accident broke loose from the trailer and fell into a ravine.
The moment was captured on video circulating on social media, showing how the vehicle lost stability while being transported, until it broke free completely and plunged down a ravine.
The driver of the pickup truck died in the accident.
Authorities have not yet revealed the identity of the victim or further details about the circumstances of the initial incident that caused the vehicle to need to be towed.

Question is:
(having helped pull more than one vehicle out of ditches, creeks, rivers, etc) ... why was Dude even still in the truck?
Not normal procedure in a situation like this, much less, on a steep hillside, etc. 🙄🙄

They certainly do things differently in 3rd world countries like Guatemala

Forgot the car, that place is gorgeous!

Calling that a ravine is a bit of a stretch, he simply rolled back down a hill.

What do the pay for car insurance down there?

But how can be so stupid to be inside while the truck is being pulled up.

In Guatemala a teacher has to work almost 12 years if he doesnt eat or spend any money to afford that car

One mobster less

He was probably more worried about his truck being damaged than his life.
My guess

 

[Harumph]

Always leave the driver alone that's legally parked in the handiravine! Noted.

So he lost on both dimensions. Besides, there was little he.could do by being inside the vehicle. Dull. Dimwitted.

Of course, leave the driver in to steer the truck while you pull it up that 300ft deadly cliff. What could go wrong?
