At least nine were killed and another six injured when a passenger coach fell into a sheer valley on Sunday in the Santander Department of central Colombia.
The accident took place on a highway in the mountainous area of Santander when a coach with 15 passengers on board suddenly went out of control and fell into a valley of over 100 meters deep, local police said.
Rescuers quickly arrived at the spot and sent the victims to hospital, said the police.
