Off The Precipice
One more reason why bus travel in Ecuador is something to be feared. Ellyn, Dustin, and I all need to make a bus trip to Quito this week...
Bus falls off precipice leaving five dead, 35 injured 17/10/2004
At least five people were killed and 35 others injured on Saturday when a bus fell into a ravine of 300 meters deep in northern Ecuador, the Red Cross reported.
The institution said those injured were taken to a hospital in Quito, capital of the country, where the bus was heading from the locality of Coca, 200 km away.
The Red Cross said the authorities were investigating the cause of the accident, without revealing the conditions of those injured.
