Authorities said 21 people were killed and 38 seriously injured when a bus veered off the road and plunged into a ravine in Peru’s south-eastern Andes Mountains.
It is the second deadly road accident in Peru in a week. Last Monday, 38 people died and 84 were injured when three buses and a truck collided on the South American country’s main coastal highway.
The latest accident took place on Monday in Ayacucho province. The bus fell into a 1,000-metre deep ravine, Col. Orfiles Bravo told local media.
