Horrific Bus Crash Kills 41 In Argentina
A bus carrying police officers has crashed into a ravine in the north of Argentina, killing at least 41 people.
The accident happened early Monday morning near Salta, a city situated around 932 miles north of Buenos Aires.
The bus, part of a convoy of three carrying border patrol officers, plunged around 50ft into a dry riverbed after the driver lost control on a bridge, police said.
Authorities said there were about 60 people on the bus, as rescue workers attempted to free those trapped and survivors were taken to hospital.
Gustavo Solis, mayor of a town called Rosario de la Frontera, in Salta, said the road is known to be in bad condition and is avoided by locals, especially at night.
Police said visibility was good at the time of the accident so they were not ruling out mechanical failure as a cause.
President Mauricio Macri sent his condolences to the families of the victims.
“We need to improve our highways so these things don’t keep happening,” he said.
