There were two buses that departed with a total of 107 pilgrimage participants. The first bus had 54 people, and the rest, 53 people, were on the second. The accident happened to the first bus, said the Mayor.
Meanwhile, information obtained, some passengers were already inside with the engine running. Witnesses also mentioned that the handbrake had been applied but the bus tires were wedged.
