(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) A man in his thirties was run over and killed by a truck on Saturday in a village north-east of Amman, sparking a riot by locals and the victim's family who blocked the main road, according to a security source.
It said relatives had set up barricades on the main street in the village of Abu Sayah in the Zarqa governorate to protest the latest in a series of accidents involving dump trucks used in nearby stone quarries that pass through their village. The protesters had demanded that the trucks and heavy vehicles stay off populated areas and to use an alternative route.
Deputy head of the Ruseifah police, Col. Faisal Al Barri, met elderly people and the family of the deceased to get the road cleared of debris and reopened to traffic. He promised to find a speedy solution to the problem of trucks.
