Bus crash in Bolivia leaves 14 dead and nearly 30 injured
A bus crash has left 14 people dead and 29 injured in Bolivia, according to officials. The accident marks the fifth bus crash in the country with at least 10 fatalities so far this year.
Reports of the crash surfaced around noon on Wednesday when regional police reported an accident involving a bus in the Potosí Department of Bolivia. The bus veered off the road after crashing into a rock, following landslides caused by heavy rains in the region.
Officials confirmed 14 people died in the accident, while 29 others were injured and transported to regional hospitals.
At least 130 people have died in five accidents involving passenger buses in Bolivia this year, including Wednesday’s collision. While the circumstances of each crash have varied, calls for investigations and improved road safety have been growing in local Bolivian media.
