Bus kills 6 people in El Salvador by Julia F

A bus carrying soccer fans ran off a 10-meter cliff in western El Salvador on Sunday, killing at least six people and injuring at least 48. The passengers were fans of a local team in Sonsonate, said William Flores of the Sonsonate fire department. He said five people were pronounced dead and the sixth victim died later at a hospital. The bus was said to have mechanical problems. 

This is so terrible to hear. I don't know exactly how they can fix such a thing but people need to be more careful and aware of their vehicles, it can save lives!

  1. I agree; it's odd that the bus would just veer off a cliff if the driver was paying attention and if there was nothing wrong with the bus before. I hope the families and friends of these people are alright.
