46 killed in Peru crash

AT LEAST 46 people were killed when a bus tumbled down a cliff onto a rocky beach along a narrow stretch of highway known as the “Devil’s Curve” in Peru.

The bus was carrying 57 passengers to the capital Lima when it was struck by a tractor trailer and plunged down the slope.

It came to rest upside down on a narrow strip next to the Pacific, passengers’ bodies strewn among the rocks.

Traffic accidents are common along Peru’s roadways, with more than 2600 people killed in 2016.
