Two men were rescued.
Of the four others still missing, the Guatemalan ministry said they are believed to be nationals from Mexico, Honduras and El Salvador.
The Guatemalan nationals' families have been notified, the ministry said.
"We will continue requesting information from the authorities and information about search and rescue efforts to find the missing Guatemalans," the statement said.

On social media, Honduran Foreign Affairs Minister Enrique Reina said officials were looking to determine if Honduran nationals were in the accident, but they hadn’t been able to confirm as of yet.
