Chicken Bus Accident

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - A passenger bus crashed off a winding mountain road in Guatemala, killing at least 32 people, rescue officials said on Monday.
The bus fell down a 300-foot ravine after leaving the western city of Huehuetenango late on Sunday and an additional 10 victims could still be inside the wreckage, said Mario Cruz, spokesman for volunteer fire teams at the scene.
They were lifting bodies out with cables, and five survivors were taken to hospital for treatment.
Officials blamed the accident on fog and rain that blanketed the already dangerous road.
