The moment LATAM airlines plane crashes with truck attempted to cross the runway

Two aeronautical firefighters traveling in the truck died when they attempted to cross the runway, according to Luis Ponce La Jara, general commander of the fire department.

The Latam Airlines plane collided with the truck just before 15:30 (20:30 GMT) on Friday at Jorge Chávez International Airport in the capital, Lima.

It remains unclear why the fire truck entered the runway while the plane was taking off, bound for the southern Peruvian city of Juliaca.

Peru’s health ministry said at 7 p.m. (0000 GMT) that 20 passengers were being treated in a clinic, and at least two were in serious condition. The airline said no passengers or crew members were killed
