Footage from the crash shows rescue workers and police attempting to maneuver inside the wreckage A double-decker bus in Peru crashed and landed upside down after careening over a slope, killing at least 18 people and injuring 48. The region's Health Director, Clifor Curipaco, told reporters that the bus was traveling from Lima towards the country's Amazon forests, specifically in the Junín region, on Friday, July 25, when the tragedy occurred, according to the Associated Press. The bus, owned by the company Expreso Molina Líder Internacional, was carrying more than 60 people when it crashed into a ravine, per DW News. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the incident, according to the outlet. Video of the aftermath of the crash shows police and rescue workers sifting through wreckage and attempting to maneuver themselves inside the overturned vehicle. The footage shows the bus split in two in the wake of the fall. This is not the first major fatal bus crash in Peru this year.
