San Salvador : Seven people have been killed and 82 others injured when a bus overturned on a highway in western El Salvador, authorities said.
Fire chief Abner Hurtado told YSKL radio Wednesday that the vehicle flipped over on a highway over bridge while transporting some 90 workers to an assembly plant, Spanish news agency EFE reported Thursday.
One person was killed on the spot while six others died at hospitals in Santa Ana, where 82 injured passengers were being treated.
Hurtado said the driver probably lost control of the vehicle after a tyre burst, and added that investigations were on.
