Approximately 10 deaths and 18 injuries are the result of a new traffic accident that occurred on the Macas-Taisha highway. Bus number 17 of the Rayo de Luna interprovincial cooperative plunged into an abyss. Medical care was coordinated through ECU911.
According to information from the Emergency Center, the intercantonal bus covered the Macas-Taisha route when for an unknown reason it fell off a cliff. The unit crashed after losing track on the bridge over the Colorado River, meters before there is a steep slope.
On his Facebook page, the governor of Morona Santiago, Freddy Villamagua, wrote: “Very unfortunate, a traffic accident alert is activated, a Rayo de Luna bus loses track on the road to Taisha, Río Colorado sector, and falls with a balance of at least 10 dead and several injured, the protocol is activated, sending ambulances to the Macuma health center for evacuations to the Macas hospital “.
