10 killed in Peru bus crash: police
At least 10 people were killed when a bus crashed into a hillside in southeastern Peru.
LIMA (AFP) - At least 10 people were killed and 25 injured Thursday when a bus crashed into a hillside in southeastern Peru, the police said.
The crash on a road linking the provinces of Arequipa and Puno came just four days after 19 people were killed when their bus went off a precipice in the southern Huancavelica province.
The cause of the latest crash was not known.
Arequipa s chief of traffic police said many of the injured were in serious condition.
Deadly crashes are commonplace in Peru, where poorly maintained roads zig-zag up and down the towering Andes.
More than 4,000 people were killed in traffic accidents in 2012, according to official statistics.
