US EditionAt Least 37 Dead After a Passenger Bus Falls Into a Ravine in Peru
- On Wednesday, a passenger bus plunged into a 200m deep ravine after a head-on collision on the Pan-American Highway South near Arequipa, killing at least 37 and falling to the banks of the Ocoña River.
- The bus smashed into a pickup truck on a curve, sending it off the road and down the slope; poor road conditions, excessive speed, and lack of safety signage are cited as common road-safety factors.

- The Public Prosecutor's Office said the pickup truck driver has been detained while police experts will determine the cause, and both drivers reportedly survived the crash.
- The death toll ranks among the highest in recent years in Latin America, and Waldor Llerena, Ocona district mayor, warned the site has rugged terrain and a history of deadly accidents.
