Oral Production Activity Units 2 and 3: Accident On The Road
Script:
At least 48 people died when a bus tumbled down a cliff onto a rocky beach Tuesday along a
narrow stretch of highway known as the "Devil's Curve” in Pasamayo, in the north of Lima.
The blue bus came to rest upside down on a strip of shore next to the Pacific, the lifeless bodies of
passengers strewn among the rocks.
The passengers in crash included many returning to Lima after celebrating the New Year's holiday
with family outside the city.
At the time of the accident, everything was terrifying and happened so fast, said one survivor.
Six survivors with serious injuries were taken to nearby hospitals, 48 people were confirmed dead
and at least three were missing.
According to the Peruvian authorities , the lack of education of the drivers and the little
application of the road rules continue causing many deaths every year.
In my personal opinion, I would divert the cars by another route, because pasamayo is a very
dangerous place due to rain and low visibility. I think it is the best solution to avoid other
accidents.
