TEHRAN, January 3 -A bus plunged over a seaside cliff in Peru on Tuesday, killing at least 48 people after a collision with a truck on a precarious stretch known as the "devil's curve," officials said.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -A bus plunged over a seaside cliff in Peru on Tuesday, killing at least 48 people after a collision with a truck on a precarious stretch known as the "devil's curve," officials said.
The bus was travelling from Huacho, 130 kilometers (81 miles) north of the capital, to Lima with 55 passengers and two crew on board when it went off the road about midday.
It plunged 100 meters and landed upside down on rocks at the edge of the sea.
The incident "left at least 48 victims" dead, the statement posted on the Interior Ministry's website said, revising an earlier toll of 36.
Efforts to recover bodies from the overturned vehicle were suspended at nightfall because the tide had risen and reached the bus, the police said.
