Devastating bus crash in Guatemala kills 15 people

A bus has plunged into a ravine in Guatemala, killing 15 people, including a child.

Dozens of volunteer rescuers spent two and a half hours extracting passengers from the bus at Solola, wedged in a gorge that was 75 metres deep.

19 people are being treated for injuries.

It’s not known what caused the crash, but difficult driving conditions on the mountainous highways of Guatemala heighten the risk of fatal bus accidents.
