Sadly this happens way too often in Bolivia…
Many dead in Bolivian bus crash story.
It doesn’t help that Bolivia is home to the world’s most dangerous road. This glorious distinction is not just in name alone, it was actually determined by the Inter American Development Bank. I know a bunch of people that have been down this road and told me stories of wheels right on the edge of the road and drivers almost nodding off. I personally would be pretty pumped to ride down this thing on a mountin bike although it says 13 people have died that way too.
One more first hand account from the BBC.
Did you read the most recent National Geographic article on Bolivia?

I just re-read it and it brought back crazy memories of those bus rides in the Andes.
