A truck driver plowed over Peru's renowned Nazca Lines, damaging the UNESCO World Heritage Site, officials said.
The truck driver apparently ignored warning signs when he entered the ancient archaeological site in southern Peru's desert plains on Saturday night, according to a press release from the country's Ministry of Culture.
The unauthorized vehicle left "deep tracks" across a 50-meter by 100-meter (164-foot by 328-foot) area of the site, affecting the surface and damaging three of the geoglyphs. The driver, identified by authorities as 40-year-old Jainer Jesus Flores Vigo, was detained that night near the city of Nazca and later released, the ministry said.
