Does anyone have any info on a bus accident yesterday in Southern Ecuador? My brother and his wife were on a bus that flipped over. They're ok, more or less. There will be some hopital bills. I'm just wondering if anyone has heard anything about this in the local news or if any other expats were on that bus, and if anyone knows what bus company it was.

Sorry to hear about that.

I didn´t see anything in the Cuenca newspapers but there is this from a Loja paper I think

Another article today on that same accident from El Mercurio. This time it mentions the bus line: Cooperativa Viajeros.

They're ok. Broken fingers and hand, but not anything that would stop their travels.
