Churchgoers’ Bus Crashes; 21 Killed
From Times Wire Reports
A bus carrying evangelical Christians to a religious meeting in Guatemala crashed and hurtled into a ravine, killing at least 21 people, officials said.
The bus was traveling along a steeply descending, winding road about 110 miles from Guatemala City when it collided with another bus late Friday.
Road accidents are common in Guatemala, where converted U.S. school buses are frequently overloaded with passengers and driven at breakneck speeds along mountain roads.
