Authorities in southeastern Peru report that a bus fell off the edge of a winding mountain road on Monday, killing 25 people including two children.
The tragedy happened before dawn when the bus traveling between two Andean villages careened down a 200-meter (656-foot) ravine in the Huancavelica province.
“The toll is 25 dead and 34 injured”, Defense Minister Jorge Chavez stated.
The wrecked bus was seen resting on its side near a river, with debris and personal goods strewn about.
Onlookers stared from the narrow dirt road up above as police and rescue workers combed the site.
President Dina Boluarte, who was in New York for the United Nations General Assembly, expressed her condolences to the victims’ families.
Last month, an accident in the same region killed 13 people and critically injured five more.
Speeding, bad road conditions, lack of signage, and poor enforcement of traffic regulations all contribute to accidents on Peruvian highways.
In 2019, the World Health Organization estimated 4,414 road fatalities in Peru, or 13.6 per 100,000 people.
