Bus Overturns in Southwestern Colombia, Killing at Least 6 and Injuring 11; Police Suspect Driver Microsleep
A long-distance bus traveling from San Vicente in Colombia's southern Caqueta province to the capital, Bogota, overturned on Saturday, November 14, on the Garzon-Neiva highway in the southwestern department of Huila. Colombia's National Police said at least six people were killed and 11 injured, according to The Associated Press.
A police report said investigators were still working to determine exactly how the bus overturned, but they believe the driver may have experienced a brief episode of "microsleep," falling asleep for a few seconds. Col. Edwin Correa, director of the police traffic and transportation division, said in the report that drivers must ensure they have had adequate rest before beginning a journey.
Local media reported that the bus was operated by Cootranscaqueta and was carrying 37 passengers, that the crash happened at about 2 a.m. on Saturday, and that the 26-year-old driver was seriously injured. The toll follows the figures released by police and reported by the AP and may be updated by officials.
The bus has been removed from the road and traffic on the Garzon-Neiva highway has been restored. The victims have not yet been identified, and the police investigation is continuing.
