Hundreds of fish have been contaminated after a truck carrying 31 tonnes of zinc fell into a major river in the Peruvian capital, officials have said.
The truck fell into the Chillón River in the the Huaros district on Tuesday, affecting nearby fishing farms.
The Civil Defence's initial report said there was a loss of "about 500 tonnes of trout", which are reared in the Chillón, one of three rivers that cross Lima.

They won't have better numbers until later and the video says that they were counting dead and alive fish so it has to be just a guess-timate.
