LIMA, Peru – Peruvian officials say a double-decker bus on a sightseeing tour went out of control and rolled over on a narrow road in the hills of the capital, killing at least nine people and injuring 40.

Peru's Ministry of Health says the Sunday night accident happened about 2 kilometers (a mile) from the presidential palace in Lima. Its statement says the local bus was driving on San Cristobal hill to give the passengers a panoramic view of the city.

The ministry says the bus appears to have been speeding.
