Bangla Press Desk: At least 15 people were killed and about 30 injured Friday when the bus they were on plummeted into a ravine in the Peruvian Andes, an official said.
"We have 15 dead" that authorities were in the process of identifying, said Aldo Tineo, a health official for the central city of Tarma.
The bus, which landed on its roof next to a river, had been transporting more than 60 people when it veered off course on a winding, narrow road, local media reported.
It had traveled about two-thirds of the way from the capital Lima to its destination, the city of La Merced.
