The province of Misiones is a mountainous region with winding roads and heavy traffic of cargo and passenger vehicles. Highway 14, where the accident occurred, is one of the main land connections between the center and north of Argentina, used by those traveling towards Brazil and Paraguay.
PASSENGERS WITHOUT IDENTIFICATION
The company responsible for the bus did not have a list of passengers, which made it difficult to identify the victims. The vehicle was carrying out an interstate service, which allows boarding and disembarking along the route, a common practice in regions of the Argentine interior. Therefore, the exact number of occupants at the time of the accident is still unknown.
