(MENAFN) At least five individuals lost their lives Thursday afternoon in Peru’s southeastern Puno region when their vehicle tumbled into a ravine, according to local news reports on Friday.
The accident happened on the route linking the Sina and Cojata districts, a private broadcaster confirmed.
The victims were inside a private pickup truck that fell about 100 meters down into a river below.
