Bogota: Twenty people have been killed as a passenger bus plunged into a ravine in Colombia’s mountainous northwest, officials said.
Colombia’s Red Cross director Juan Manuel Osorio said that the bus with 20 people on board was ripped apart by rocks and mud from the Chinchina River. No survivors have been found.
The bus was en route to Bogota from the regional city of Manizales when the accident occurred.
Red Cross spokesman Cesar Uruena said Thursday that bodies and pieces of wreckage were spotted along a ravine beneath the highway.
