At least 31 people were killed and a dozen others injured after a bus plunged off a precipice in Bolivia's Yocalla municipality.
At least 31 people have died, and a dozen others were injured in a bus crash in Bolivia.
Authorities say the driver likely lost control of the vehicle, causing it to plunge nearly 800 meters off a cliff in the southwestern municipality of Yocalla.
Healthcare officials report that 10 adults and four children were injured and taken to the hospital, with several in intensive care.
A police officer noted that the mountainous route is full of sharp twists and turns and suggested that the bus's speed may have been a factor in the crash.
