The accident occured at 8:30 in the morning and despite many life-threatening injuries for which many of the 71 are hospitalized, nobody has died yet. The bus was a regular commuter bus from El Alto to La Paz from line 54 of the Simón Bolívar Union with license plate 204-DYP. “I think that the brakes broke on route because from the altitude of the Pedro Domingo Murillo school our speed increased a lot to the level of the former Forno factory until the Vásquez avenue in the right lane until we got to the gardens are rolled two times, I was in the back seats,” said a surviving passenger. The crash impact left the area littered with bus seats. To learn more in Spanish: http://www.erbol.com.bo/noticia.php?identificador=2147483925071 |
