Sunday. The bus, owned by the transportation company Blue Sky Logistics, was
reportedly carrying people from the northern Haitian city of Cap-Haitien to the
nation's capital, Port Au Prince.
The bus which encountered
streets crowded with revelers celebrating Rara, a popular festive season in
Haiti that runs until Easter Sunday first struck two people at a bus stop and
continued into the crowd, killing at least 38 people and injuring 13 others,
Reuters reported.
