A bus careened off a mountain highway and toppled into a ravine in eastern El Salvador on Saturday, killing 34 people and injuring 24 others, authorities said.
The bus left the community of Guatajiagua and was headed to hot-water springs popular with tourists near the border with neighboring Honduras. The crash occurred on a two-lane highway outside the village of Nacaspilo, 80 miles northeast of the capital, San Salvador, Moises Garay, a spokesman for local fire authorities, said in a phone interview.
