Overview
- An interprovincial Llamosas bus plunged about 200 meters off the Panamericana Sur near Ocoña after a collision around midnight, leaving 37 dead and dozens injured.
- The Institute of Legal Medicine identified all 37 victims using AFIS and has delivered most remains to families, with the handover process close to completion.
- Driver Henry Apaclla Ñaupari, 35, remains detained as Camaná prosecutors request seven days of custody on aggravated negligent homicide and injury investigations.
- Police reported a positive qualitative alcohol screen; the prosecution logged 0.11 g/l from a blood draw six hours after the crash, while police later cited 0.25 g/l about ten hours after.
- Prosecutors ordered complementary and retrospective alcohol analyses as traffic-technical and vehicle forensics proceed, and experts note the descent lacks protective barriers and saw a deadly 2018 crash.
