At least 20 people died and 15 others were injured Saturday when a bus overturned on the Pan-American Highway in southwestern Colombia, police said.
Among the injured were a three-year-old girl and an eight-year-old boy.
Investigators are looking at possible “mechanical failures in the brake system,” Colonel Oscar Lamprea, director of traffic and transportation in the area, said in a message to reporters.It took rescue workers from the police and fire departments nine hours to set the vehicle upright, evacuate the injured and recover the dead.
Images obtained by AFP showed the bus, its roof caved in, perched dangerously at the edge of a steep drop-off.
