No fewer than 36 people have been killed and 84 people injured following a multiple collusion in Peru.

According to Al Jazeera, 3 buses and a truck collided on Peru's main coastal highway in the country's southwest, Huarmey.

Reports say the bus owned by the company Murga Serrano strayed into the oncoming lane and slammed head-on into the first of the other two buses. The truck then plowed into the wreckage.

Police Chief, General Jorge Flores saidthe most seriously injured were transported on helicopter to Lima from the scene in Huarmey.

According to the survivors, it took about 3 hours for emergency workers to reach the scene, while the government sent five medical specialists to Huarmey to help the small clinic there care for the injured.
