At least 15 people were killed and 19 others injured when a passenger bus plunged into a ravine on the Inter-American Highway in western Guatemala, according to India Times, Al Jazeera, and Reuters.

The crash resulted in the deaths of 11 men, three women, and one minor, as confirmed by local firefighter spokesperson Leandro Amado. In the aftermath of the incident, emergency services transported approximately 19 injured individuals to hospitals in the area, reports India Times and Reuters.

The bus, which was en route from Guatemala City to San Marcos, fell approximately 75 meters into the ravine under mysterious circumstances. The dense fog common in the region significantly reduced visibility, contributing to the crash, according to Al Jazeera and Reuters.
