Colombian authorities have arrested the driver of a bus that crashed and killed 31 children, police said on Monday.
The youngsters burned to death on Sunday after the bus caught fire and exploded in the north of the South American country as they returned from church services.
Another 25 people —including one adult — were injured and seriously burned in the blaze at the town of Fundacion, in the department of Magdalena, according to the Red Cross.
“The driver has been arrested, he turned himself in to authorities and we expect him to explain himself at a hearing this morning,” a local police spokesman told AFP.
