At least 20 people were killed and about 10 injured Sunday night in a bus fire at an illegal transport terminal in the Peruvian capital, emergency services said.
The tragedy reflected the chaos of Peru’s public transport system, particularly in the capital of 10 million people where authorities are overwhelmed by transport problems. One unidentified man, broken by grief, told local television that he had lost six family members including his wife, children and grandchildren.Lima’s Mayor Jorge Munoz visited the injured in hospital and announced an investigation to punish those responsible.
The station is in Lima’s populous northern San Martin de Porres district, from where the bus was to depart for the northern city of Chiclayo.
