At least 40 people are dead after their bus plunged off a bridge Monday on the outskirts of Guatemala’s capital.
Firefighting spokesman Edwin Villagran said a multi-vehicle crash sent the bus off the bridge before dawn. Another 15 people were seriously injured.
The bus fell 115 feet (35 meters) into a sewage-polluted stream. It landed upside down and half-submerged.
The bus had come from Progreso, northeast of the capital. Volunteer firefighting spokesman Óscar Sánchez said children were among the victims.
