The bus, which collided with a motorbike taxi, was carrying over fifty passengers and was traveling to the Peruvian capital from the Piura region (north).
At least 13 people were killed in Peru’s Ancas region, north of the capital Lima, when a bus collided with a motorbike taxi, police said.
The accident happened yesterday Sunday morning (local time) at the 380th kilometer of the North Pan-American Highway, in the province of Kazma, some 370 kilometers north of Lima.
The bus, which carried over fifty passengers, was traveling to the Peruvian capital from the Piura region (north).
After the collision, the bus went off the road and caught fire, police said. The victims were burned inside the bus.
The injured were taken to a regional hospital in Kazma. The motorcycle taxi driver is among the dead, while the bus driver has been arrested, according to police.
Fatal traffic accidents are very common on Peruvian roads, mainly due to excessive speed, poor road condition and lack of signage.
