SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - A bus carrying cruise ship tourists plunged 300 feet down a mountain ravine in northern Chile, killing 11 people, most believed to be U.S. citizens, officials said.
Authorities said five people were injured — three Americans, the Chilean bus driver and a tour guide — in Wednesday's crash along a rugged highway near the Pacific port city of Arica, 1,250 miles north of Santiago. The identities of the victims were not immediately known.
"We have confirmed 11 people killed, most of them apparently from the United States," said Juan Carlos Poli, an Arica city hall spokesman.
