So Sad: Bus Carrying Child Dance Group Crashes Killing 15

At least 15 people, most of them children, were killed when a bus carrying a youth dance group crashed in Argentina’s western Mendoza province.

The group of about 50 included teachers, parents and dancers between the ages of five and 15-years-old.

The group had travelled from Grand Bourg, a suburb of Buenos Aires, to dance in a competition in San Rafael, Mendoza.

Authorities were still investigating the cause of the accident.

 

According to reports, the bus seems to have lost control on a tight curve on Argentina’s Route 144.

Local media reported the bus, which was driven by a pair of father-son drivers, was not licensed to operate commercially after their operating license expired.
