Madrid - Spanish haulage companies and the government were due on Wednesday to continue their negotiations in view of ending a strike which has clogged motorways and led to increasing shortages of foodstuffs and fuel.
The negotiations were interrupted Tuesday after a picket was hit by a truck and killed near Granada.
A lorry driver was taken to hospital with serious burns after his vehicle began burning in San Isidro near Alicante early Wednesday. The man had been sleeping in the cabin. Several other trucks also caught fire. Police were investigating the incident.
The hauliers are protesting against rising fuel prices which, they say, eat up to 60 per cent of their income.
