Bus Falls Off Cliff In
Colombia, Killing 9
At least nine people
were killed and 21
injured on Tuesday when
a bus fell off a cliff
in southwestern
Colombia, police said.
The accident, which
occurred early Tuesday
when most of the
passengers on board were
still sleeping, was just
another such accident on
the highway known as the
"road of death" in the
province of Narilo,
police said.
The road is perilous as
it is flanked on one
side by high cliffs and
the visibility there is
always poor due to heavy
fog.
All the injured were
sent to hospitals and
most of them have severe
head injures, a rescue
worker said.
The cause of the
accident is still under
investigation.
