Guatemalan President Bernardo Arevalo declared three days of national mourning following a bus crash on Monday.
He also deployed the country's army and disaster agency to assist response efforts.
A spokesperson for the city's fire department said the bus veered off a highway bridge into a polluted ravine in Guatemala City, killing at least 51 people and trapping survivors.
The spokesman, said the bodies of 36 men and 15 women had been sent to a provincial morgue, set up in response to the crash.
The densely packed bus was travelling into the capital from the town of San Agustin Acasaguastlan on a busy route into the city when it plunged approximately 20 meters from Puente Belice, a highway bridge that crosses over a road and creek.
