In a tragic incident on a mountainous road in Bolivia, over 30 individuals lost their lives after a bus veered off course, plunging approximately 800 meters into a ravine in Yocalla. Local authorities confirmed that fourteen others were injured, including four children. The crash, which occurred between the cities of Potosí and Oruro, is suspected to have been caused by excessive speed, rendering the driver unable to regain control of the vehicle, according to police colonel Victor Benavides. This catastrophic event marks one of the most severe road incidents in Bolivia for the year. Local reports indicate that several injured passengers are in critical condition. Unfortunately, deadly road accidents are all too frequent in Bolivia; just last month, another bus accident in the vicinity resulted in 19 fatalities. Government statistics reveal that approximately 1,400 people perish annually on the country’s hazardous roads.
