Fifteen people were killed and 19 others injured after a passenger bus plunged into a ravine along the Inter-American Highway in western Guatemala today.
Authorities said the victims included 11 men, three women, and a minor. Images shared by the fire department on social media showed the wreckage of the bus at the bottom of the ravine as firefighters worked to rescue victims.
The incident took place in the Solola Department between kilometres 172 and 174, an area known for dense fog that reduces visibility for drivers, Reuters reported.
The fire department shared photos on social media showing mangled bus lying deep in the ravine as emergency personnel carried out rescue operations.
Further details are awaited.
