“The place where it happened is a hill, with a steep slope, and it was raining when the accident happened,” Aruba Police Commander Charles Mkumbo said.
Mkumbo added investigators were still trying to determine exactly what caused the bus to leave the road.
“We don’t know if the driver was new or if there was a mechanical defect,” he said.
