A bus has plunged off a cliff in northern Peru, killing at least 25 other people.

Stunning footage show the bus on its side, surrounded by way of the bodies of passengers who have been hurled during the windows.

The bus belonged to Q’orianka Excursions and used to be heading from the capital Lima to the Tumbes area, close to the Ecuador border in Peru’s coastal desert.

It’s not identified what led to the crash but the bus fell many metres down the rocky slope right into a ravine in the early hours.

Injured survivors from the bus, believed to be wearing round 60 passengers, were taken to local hospitals.

Police are actually investigating what made the driver veer off the road.
