At least 37 killed in Peru after bus plunges into ravine
In Peru, at least 37 people died and many were injured after a bus collided with a pickup truck, causing it to plunge 200m into a ravine on the Pan-American Highway in the Arequipa region. The accident occurred early Wednesday morning on a hazardous portion of the road connecting Peru and Chile. Bus crashes are frequent in Peru, often attributed to factors like poor road conditions, high speeds, and inadequate safety measures, making accidents a common occurrence, particularly on mountainous routes.
