At least 24 dead as Philippine bus plunges into ravine
A bus carrying passengers in the Philippines has crashed into a ravine, killing at least 24 people and injuring many more. The accident occurred on Tuesday morning in the province of Abra, in the northern part of the country.
According to reports, the bus was traveling from the city of La Union to the town of Bangued when it lost control and veered off the road, plunging into a deep ravine. The bus was carrying around 40 passengers, including children and elderly people.
Rescue teams were dispatched to the scene, and emergency responders worked to extract survivors from the wreckage. The death toll is expected to rise as more bodies are recovered from the ravine.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation, but officials suspect that excessive speed and reckless driving may have contributed to the tragedy.
This is a devastating loss of life, and my condolences go out to the families of the victims.
