Five young British women have been killed, and another 12 Britons injured, in a bus crash in Ecuador.
They were on a gap-year tour of the country when their bus was apparently in collision with a truck on the road between the capital Quito and the coastal town of Puerto Lopez.
The foreign office number for anyone concerned about a friend or relative is 020 7008 1500.
