Emergency personnel respond to the scene of a deadly crash after a bus dropped off a precipice, in Yocalla on Monday —Reuters 
YOCALLA, Feb 18 (Reuters): A bus crash in Bolivia on Monday killed at least 31 people and wounded over a dozen more, according to local police.
The driver of the bus likely lost control of the vehicle, causing it to drop nearly 800 metres (2625 ft) off a precipice in the southwestern municipality of Yocalla, a police officer speaking from the local hospital said.
Of those injured in the crash, 10 adults and four children had been hospitalized, with several in intensive care, an official from the hospital said in a video.
The mountainous route is full of twists and turns, the police officer said, adding that the bus' speed could have been a factor in the crash.
European leaders warn against Ukraine ceasefire without peace deal, official says "We are ready to provide security guarantees, with modalities to be examined with each party, depending on the level of American support," an official says. Road accidents kill an average of 1,400 people every year in the country of about 12 million inhabitants, according to government data.
