A TRUCK driver was run over and killed by a van today as he was working on a picket line in southern Spain during a strike by hauliers protesting high fuel prices, police said. The incident occurred at the entrance to a wholesale market in Grenada this evening, a police official said.
Earlier today, a Portuguese driver was killed near Alcanena, north of Lisbon, as he tried to stop a lorry at a road block set up by the strikers, police said. Strikes launched yesterday by truckers in Spain, France and Portugal have caused mounting chaos, with food and fuel shortages and huge tailbacks on the Spanish-French border.
