“We send our most sincere condolences to the bereaved families, wishing them the necessary strength to face these difficult times.”

Police said the bus rolled some 500 metres down a ravine after the collision, which took place on the highway between Oruro, in the Bolivian Altiplano, and the highland mining city of Potosi.
