“We don’t know if those on the first floor have gotten out, only those of us on the second floor have gotten out. I was awake and a baby was crying and then the bus started to tilt and rang three times and people started screaming, thank God I only got hurt. It seems that the driver was sleeping or was speeding. He rang three bells,” said Fidelina, one of the passengers.
