Tragedy Strikes Peru as Bus Plunges into Ravine, Claiming 24 Lives

At least 24 people have been killed and 21 injured in a coach crash in Peru when the inter-city coach fell into a 200m-deep ravine while traveling overnight in the Andes mountains. Coach crashes are common in Peru, especially at night and on mountain highways. The cause of the accident is still unknown, but the mayor of a nearby town mentioned that the highway had not been repaired since a landslide a month ago. Firefighters and locals were the first to arrive at the scene and managed to rescue survivors and transport them to nearby hospitals.
