The official added that the three seriously hurt people had sustained “non-fatal” injuries.

He said that the accident occurred at Kilometer 33 on the highway from El Salvador to Sonsonate province.

The spokesman also said that the apparently injured bus driver fled the scene and authorities had begun an investigation into the cause of the accident.
