Huancavelica: In a tragic incident, at least 25 people including 2 children were killed and 34 others were injured as the bus they were travelling plummeted from the edge of a narrow mountain road in southeastern Peru. The bus careened down a 200-meter ravine in the region of Huancavelica.
An accident in the same region last month left 13 people dead and 5 seriously injured. Accidents frequently occur along Peruvian highways due to speeding, poor road conditions, lack of signage and poor enforcement of traffic rules.
