Unhappy Dozens killed in Peru coach plunge

Quote:
At least 25 people have been killed after a coach plummeted 100m (330ft) down a cliff and landed upside down on a beach in Peru, officials say.

The accident happened on a notorious stretch of road known as Curva del Diablo (the devil's bend) in Pasamayo, north of the capital Lima.

A transport official said the coach was carrying about 50 passengers and the death toll could rise.

The Pacific Ocean road is considered one of the most dangerous in Peru.

Initial reports said more than 40 people had been killed but Peru transport chief Dino Escudero later said only 25 deaths could so far be confirmed.

Images from the scene showed rescuers surrounding the wrecked coach while people on the road above looked on.
