The death toll from yesterday’s falling bus from a bridge to a suburb of the capital of Guatemala is now 55, as their last breath left two of the seven injured in critical condition.

The bus – which had departed with 75 passengers from San Ayustine Akasagastlan, about 100 kilometers from the city of Guatemala – diverted its course and fell from a bridge to a 20 -meter cliff, ending in a stream.

As shown in a security camera video broadcast by Guatemala’s television networks, the bus violated a red traffic light having developed high speed, which reinforces the scenario that the driver lost control over the brake damage, with the vehicle crashing on the car. He dives from the bridge.

Guatemala’s president Bernardo Arevalo He declared a three -day national mourning, expressing his sincere condolences to the families of the victims of the accident – one of the most many in the last decade in Latin America.

In January 2018, 52 people were killed when a bus fell on a cliff in Peru. In March 2015, 54 people died when a bus fell on a cliff in southern Brazil.
