Ecuador: dads' tribute to daughters

Updated on 14 April 2008

By Keme Nzerem

The fathers of two of the gap year students who died when a lorry collided with their bus in Ecuador speak movingly about their children.

They described what happened as a tragic accident, and said it should not stop other young people from embarking on similar adventures.

The bus was nearing the end of its journey from Ecuador's capital Quito, to the fishing village of Puerto Lopez, when a lorry carrying sand crashed into it near Sancan, killing four students and their tour guide, and injuring 15 other people.
