BOLIVIA: 25 killed as bus plunges into ravine

Twenty-five people were killed in western Bolivia when the bus they were travelling in fell more than 200m down a ravine.

The bus was trying to overtake a lorry when it collided head-on with another vehicle and went over the cliff, injuring 24 passengers.

Speed could have contributed to the crash on Sunday night local time.

The bus, which was operated by a company called Totai, was travelling from the country’s administrative capital, La Paz, to the Amazon town of Rurrenabaque.
