At least 44 people have died in Peru after a bus careened off a highway into a ravine.
The bus hurtled about 100 meters into the ravine in the mountainous southern portion of the country, marking the second major bus crash in the country this year. The cause of the accident is not yet known.
Peru’s President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski expressed his condolences to the relatives of those killed in a tweet.
The tragic accident follows just over a month after a crash in early January when 48 people were killed on a bus that collided with a truck.
