Bus Crash in French Pyrenees Kills Two and Injures Dozens

A Spanish coach carrying 47 people collided with a cliff near Porté-Puymorens, leaving seven critically injured and prompting an extensive rescue operation.

The crash occurred Sunday evening on the RN320 mountain road near the ski resort of Porté-Puymorens, with the bus reportedly losing control and hitting a cliff face.
The victims include two fatalities and 45 injured passengers, with seven in critical condition, including a four-year-old child.
Most passengers were Colombian nationals living in Spain, returning to Barcelona after a shopping trip to Andorra.
Over 170 rescue personnel from France, Spain, and Andorra, supported by helicopters, responded to the scene despite challenging terrain.
Authorities have launched a criminal investigation, with initial reports suggesting possible brake failure; the driver, critically injured, has not yet been interviewed.
