At least 19 people were killed in Guatemala after the bus they were travelling in plunged down a 200-metre ravine in the west of the country.
Carlos Santizo, a spokesman for local firefighters, said the bus was going too fast when it went off the edge of the road near the town of Nahuala on Monday, some 160 kilometres west of Guatemala City.
Nearly all those confirmed dead in the crash were adults, including one pregnant woman, Santizo told local radio.
There was one minor among the dead, he said.
Between 20 and 25 people were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, said hospital spokesman Guillermo Ordonez.
