Just the crash in Bolivia kills at least 37

Police said that at least 37 people have died and 30 were injured after two passenger buses collided in Bolivia.

The accident occurred on Saturday from about 5 km (3 mi) from the south-west city of Uyuni.

Police Commander Wilson Flores said one of the drivers was getting intensive care, while the other was in a stable position.

Images published in Bolivian media showed a badly damaged coach, whose bodywork burst and scattered items scattered on the roadside.

Local media reported that buses collided with the route after the “lane attack” between Uyuni and Kolchani in the Potocy Department of Bolivia.

A bus was traveling to the western city of ORORO, where Oralo Carnival – one of the largest festivals in Latin America – was taking place.

Vehicles were recovered from 10:00 local time (14:00 GMT) and the injured were taken to hospitals in both Oralo and Potos.

Those who have not died have not been identified and the condition of the injured has not been determined yet.

According to local media, CDR Floors said the police were awaiting the results of the liquor tests taken by the drivers.

Bolivia are common fatal traffic accidents. More than 30 people were killed in February When a bus dipped about 800 meters (2625 ft) in a ravine Between the cities of Potosi and Oralo.

In January, 19 people were killed when another bus got out of a road in the same area, which was also with Potocy.

According to government data, about 12 million residents die on an average of road accidents every year in the country.
