Minibus Plunges Off Andean Mountain Road in Peru, Killing at Least 14
Five others were hurt when the vehicle lost control on a curve in the Peruvian Andes
A minibus rolled off a mountain road in the Peruvian Andes, killing at least 14 people and injuring five others, Al Jazeera reported.
The vehicle lost control on a curve before plunging off the roadway, according to the report. Peru's rugged mountain highways, which wind along steep, narrow passes at high altitude, are frequently the site of deadly traffic accidents involving buses and minivans that serve as a primary mode of transport for rural communities.
No further details on the cause of the crash or the identities of the victims were immediately available.
