Deadly Bus Crash in Peru
Approximately another 10 passengers got out through the bus windows, said an additional source, the Peru21 Web site.
“It happened very fast,” the state-run Andina press agency quoted an unknown victim as saying. “I was sleeping and felt the strong impact and saw that a fire was starting. I found a window and jumped out.”
The accident occurred approximately 11:20 p.m. Monday on the Panamericana Sur highway in the Cañete province close to Lima, Peru’s capital. Both vehicles were traveling southbound from Lima to Pisco, the press agency said.
The bus is owned by the Costeño transportation company, Andina said.
The truck driver pulled through the accident but was seriously burnt, Peru21 said.
