A passenger bus crashed off a winding mountain road in Guatemala, killing 42 people, rescue officials said on Monday, according to Reuters. The bus fell down a 300-foot (100-metre) ravine after leaving the western city of Huehuetenango late on Sunday, said Mario Cruz, spokesman for volunteer fire teams at the scene. Rescue workers were lifting bodies out with cables and five survivors were taken to hospital for treatment. Officials blamed the accident on fog and rain that blanketed the already dangerous road.
