Bolivia is mourning one of its deadliest road accidents of the year after a passenger bus careened off a mountain highway and plunged nearly 800 meters into a ravine. The crash occurred on the route between the cities of Potosí and Oruro, a region known for its winding roads and steep cliffs. According to authorities, at least 30 people were killed and 15 others were injured in the devastating accident. Preliminary investigations suggest the driver may have lost control of the bus due to speeding while navigating a sharp curve. Witnesses reported that the vehicle veered across the lane before tumbling down the mountainside. Rescue teams, including firefighters and local police, worked for hours to reach survivors trapped in the wreckage, a difficult task given the depth and rugged terrain of the ravine.
