Authorities identify bodies at the scene where a bus skids off a highway and falls into a ravine, leaving some passengers dead and several injured, on the outskirts of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, December 5, 2023. /Reuters

A bus in Honduras skidded off a highway and fell into a ravine on Tuesday, killing at least 12 people and injuring around two dozen others, authorities said.

The bus, carrying nearly 60 people, crashed into a bridge before tipping into a stream at the bottom of the ravine about 41 kilometers (25 miles) from Tegucigalpa, according to police officials.

President Xiomara Castro said on social media the government had declared three days of national mourning.
