The collision, attributed to a “lane invasion,” left one driver in critical condition while the other was stable, as confirmed by local police. Footage from the scene shows a severely damaged bus on its side, with personal belongings strewn across the highway. Emergency services acted quickly, transporting the injured to nearby hospitals.

Police are investigating the incident and awaiting alcohol test results for the drivers involved. Traffic accidents are grimly common in Bolivia, where over 1,400 lives are lost each year due to road incidents. Just this year, two major accidents resulted in multiple deaths on similar routes.
