A giant rock fell on the minibus: 3 people died
These are powerful images from the Cacray region of Lima, Peru, images not for the faint of heart. The disaster, which occurred on the Central Highway on December 2, was recorded by the camera of the vehicle located right behind the minibus.
As local media confirmed, the Toyota Hilux immortalized on camera was stopped near road construction along with other vehicles, reducing the number of available lanes. While everyone was lining up, a rock flies from the top, hits the minibus and crushes it. Three people on board, two men and one woman of Chinese origin, died instantly: According to Peruvian newspapers, they were from the Jungle Fresh Organic SAC company and were probably in the area on business.

Located in the San Mateo de Huancho region, Cacray is considered a high-risk area due to its topography and constant exposure to natural events. Some sections of the motorway are unprotected and the slopes are not always adequately maintained. Additionally, heavy rains have hit the area in recent days, making the ground unstable and may have contributed to the tragic landslide.
