Colombia bus crash kills 14
At least 14 people were killed and more than a dozen injured when a bus carrying Easter Week holidaymakers careered out of control and plunged down a cliff along a highway in Colombia, police said today.
The accident occurred last night near the city of Pereira, 110 miles west of the capital, Bogota, police said in a statement. All the victims appeared to be Colombians.
Authorities worked through the night and into the morning to remove the injured from the mangled wreckage.
It was not immediately clear whether human error or mechanical failure was behind the crash.
