A horrifying accident occurred in Guatemala City when a bus plunged into a gorge, killing at least 55 people. The bus, which had just come from Progreso, crashed after being involved in a multi-vehicle collision, sending it off the road and into a 115-foot drop. Rescuers reported recovering 53 bodies on site, while two additional fatalities were confirmed at a local hospital. The tragedy, with children among the victims, prompted President Bernardo Arevalo to declare a day of national mourning and extend his condolences to the families affected.
At least 55 people are dead after their bus plunged into a gorge and landed under a bridge on the outskirts of Guatemala's capital.
The bus fell 115 feet into a sewage-polluted stream and landed upside down and half-submerged.
