At least 37 people were killed and dozens injured in a collision between two buses in Bolivia’s western Potosi region, police and local authorities reported on Saturday.
The crash occurred in the early morning hours on the route between Uyuni and Colchani when one of the buses veered into the oncoming lane, leading to a fatal impact.
“As a result of this tragic accident, 37 people have lost their lives, and 39 others are receiving treatment in four hospitals in the town of Uyuni,” a spokesman for the Departmental Police Command of Potosi told reporters.
