26 Dead, 19 Injured After Bus Plunges off Highway in Honduras
A passenger bus plunged off a highway and rolled 500 yards down a hillside in western Honduras on Tuesday, killing 26 people and injuring at least 19, authorities said.
Emergency personnel worked to free people from the twisted wreckage near the border with El Salvador.
“This is a terrible tragedy that will cause mourning in a lot of poor families,” Carlos Cordero, the head of the national firefighters force, said in a telephone interview. “We are making superhuman efforts to rescue survivors.”
The 26 dead included at least three children and 16 women, all thrown from the bus by the force of the crash. Several of the injured were in serious condition, Cordero said.
The accident happened on a stretch of highway so high and treacherous that it is known as “The Angel’s Flight.”
Investigators said mechanical problems may have played a role in the crash.

Let’s keep the injured and the families of people who passed away in our prayers.
Bad road conditions, reckless bus drivers and faulty buses is a major problem in a country where its people depend on public transportation to survive.
Sunday we celebrated, as we should do every day, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Any day to be reminded of what He did for us on that cross and how he rose from the dead to show He is God, is a beautiful day.
The older girls, all but Sarai, went for a field day with the church to Heart 2 Heart Orphanage. There was a large mission team from Washington State staying the week with the children there. There were games, music and an Easter egg hunt for over 100 people!
Sarai and I stayed behind with the smaller girls and had activities of our own. Here are some photos of the fun…
This was the first time to dye eggs for the girls.
Jenci was content with just one egg.
Sarai tries to reach an Easter egg…
But, she couldn’t.
Paola had the same problem…
Sarai offered her help…
Denia was the queen of the hunt.
There was one casualty though…
The girls didn’t take it so well.
They had a moment of silence for the dead colored chicken embryo. ![]()
