Officials say that mudslides on a Guatemalan highway have killed at least 22 people. Scores more are missing.
Police say the first slide near midday Saturday buried a bus under tons of mud at kilometer marker 81 on a highway leading north toward Mexico. That led President Alvaro Colom to declare a national emergency.
Now officials say a second slide that happened hours later at kilometer 171 has killed at least 12 people -- some in vehicles and some among people who came to rescue them. At least 60 people are missing.
