The three drivers were sleeping when the criminals broke the truck windows and attacked them. One of the drivers was fatally injured and died at the scene. Yesterday, March 30, another driver was robbed and seriously injured after beaten by a group of thieves along the Saltillo – Torreon highway. He was also attacked while sleeping inside the trailer.
