A bus accident in Guatemala City resulted in the deaths of at least 51 people when the vehicle veered off a highway bridge early Monday morning. The bus, carrying over 70 passengers, plunged 20 meters into a polluted ravine after losing control and colliding with other vehicles. Various responses were initiated, including three days of national mourning declared by President Bernardo Arevalo, who expressed solidarity with the victims' families. Investigations are underway to determine the cause, including potential issues of vehicle age and passenger overload, as road accidents remain a significant concern in the region.
