Colombia News - Rescue of 15 passengers

Rescue workers have recovered the bodies of 15 passengers from a bus accident on the route from Manizales to Bogota, with at least three still unaccounted for, W Radio reported Thursday.

The bodies were found along the length of the Chinchina River.

Authorities informed W Radio that they have given up hope of finding any survivors from the bus that was carrying at least 18 passengers when it was swept over the edge of a cliff by a landslide caused by excessive heavy rains.

Other news sources, including El Espectador, currently place the number of bodies found at 14, while the total number of passengers may be as high as 20.
