At least 37 people were killed and 24 injured Wednesday when a bus plunged into a ravine after colliding with a truck in Peru, a regional Health Department official told AFP.
The accident in Arequipa, in southern Peru, is one of the worst in recent years in Peru. It occurred early in the morning on the Panamericana Sur highway that connects Peru with Chile, reports BSS.
"We have a figure of 37 fatalities," in addition to 24 injured, said Walther Oporto, the regional health manager of Arequipa.
