A bus crash in Peru’s southern Arequipa region resulted in at least 37 people being killed, according to authorities.
The accident occurred when a double-decker bus collided with a pickup truck, causing the bus to plunge into a 200-meter-deep ravine. This is one of the deadliest bus accidents ever recorded in Peru, a country where road fatalities are frequent.
Local authorities reported that 36 people died at the scene and that one more person later died from their injuries.
There were about 60 people aboard the bus. The bus was traveling from Chala, a town in Peru’s Caraveli province, to Arequipa, the country’s second-largest city, when the accident happened. Footage from the scene showed the bus upside down with passengers’ belongings scattered around it.
