Overview
- In Arequipa, a Llamosas interprovincial bus fell about 200 meters near km 780 of the Panamericana Sur after a head‑on collision, leaving at least 37 dead and dozens injured.
- Police said the pickup driver involved, identified as Hennry Branddy Rey Apaclla Ñaupari, tested positive for alcohol and remains under custody, while the bus driver is among the deceased.
- Buenos Aires’ Sarmiento line derailed near Liniers, injuring about 20 people; service runs only between Castelar and Moreno as a judicial and technical investigation examines a sudden change‑of‑way captured on video.
- Union officials attribute the derailment to a technical failure in a semi‑automatic switch reportedly installed a week earlier, and Judge Julián Ercolini is overseeing the case with peritaje underway.
- Separate urban incidents include two bus‑related crashes in Buenos Aires with multiple injuries and ordered alcoholemia tests, a Bogotá taxi driver detained after running over 11 people, and Lima cases involving a bus shooting with no injuries and a fatal hit‑and‑run under investigation.
