A student trip turned tragic on Saturday when a bus transporting students and faculty members crashed in western Colombia, resulting in the deaths of at least ten individuals and leaving eleven others injured, as reported by their university.
Initial assessments indicate that the bus driver lost control of the vehicle while transporting 26 passengers from Tolima to Quindio, according to early investigations.
As the bus collided with a guardrail on Helicoil Bridge in the Quindio area, several passengers were thrown from the vehicle, according to police commander Luis Fernando Atuesta.
“Several individuals were ejected and plunged into the ravine,” the commander noted, emphasizing that inquiries are ongoing to clarify the circumstances surrounding this unfortunate incident.
Humboldt University in Armenia, Colombia, expressed its sorrow in a statement, announcing two days of mourning following the “tragic loss of several of our colleagues, students, professors, and administrative staff” in the crash.
The university director, Diego Fernando Jaramillo Lopez, shared in a video that the bus had been carrying “22 students, two faculty members, and a communications officer.”
Traffic accidents are a significant cause of fatalities in Colombia, where the national highway authority reported an average of 22 traffic-related deaths daily in 2024.
