A bus carrying over 40 passengers crashed in southern Peru, killing at least 26 people and injuring 14 others. The bus was traveling from Lima to Ayacucho when it plunged off a cliff. Rescue teams are working to recover bodies from the wreckage, which is located in a remote area.
The crash has sparked outrage among locals who complain about poor road conditions and a lack of government maintenance. Peru has a high rate of road accidents, with over 3,100 deaths last year due to speeding, poor infrastructure, and lax enforcement of driving rules. This accident is the second deadly bus crash on the same road in just a few months. The cause of the latest accident is still under investigation.
