Summary At least 16 people were killed when a bus plunged into a ravine in Haiti on Friday.
PORT-AU-PRINCE (AFP) - Sixteen people were killed and about 30 injured in Haiti, authorities said Friday, after a commercial bus carrying passengers and merchandise plunged into a ravine.
The bus was carrying several dozen passengers at the time of the accident in the town of Saint-Michel, about 30 miles from the capital Port-au-Prince.
"There are many people with head fractures. People are in shock," regional civil protection leader Raymonde Jourdain told AFP.
Last month, at least 23 people, including an infant, died in a similar accident when a bus hurtled down a hill and into a ravine in the coastal town of Petit-Goave.
