At least 37 people were killed and 24 injured Wednesday when a bus plunged into a ravine after colliding with a truck in Peru, a regional Health Department official told AFP.

"We have a figure of 37 fatalities," in addition to 24 injured, said Walther Oporto, the regional health manager of Arequipa.
