A public transport bus serving Lima and Callao's Jorge Chávez International Airport overturned early Saturday morning, disrupting traffic but causing only minor injuries to its driver. The AeroDirecto Sur unit veered off Morales Duárez Avenue in Callao around 3:00 a.m., coming to rest on its side in a ditch.

Emergency services, including firefighters, responded to the scene. The bus was not carrying passengers at the time of the incident, limiting the injuries to the driver, who was taken to the airport police station for questioning. The exact cause of the vehicle's departure from the roadway remains under investigation.

Recovery operations necessitated the temporary closure of both lanes leading into the airport, causing delays for arriving vehicles. Despite the disruption, the AeroDirecto Línea Sur service has resumed normal operations.
