\"News\"Rio de Janeiro (dpa) – At least 34 people have died in a serious bus accident in Bolivia.<\/p>\n

Another 10 passengers were injured, two of them seriously, Bolivian media reported Monday citing police.<\/p>\n

According to the reports, the bus was on its way from the village of Potolo to Sucre when it plunged more than 100 metres and was completely destroyed.<\/p>\n

It happened near the village of Chataquila, some 30 kilometres from Bolivia’s judicial capital Sucre.<\/p>\n

It marks the worst traffic accident in Bolivia so far this year, according to the Pagina Siete newspaper.<\/p>\n

Police are still investigating the cause of the most recent crash, according to newspaper El Deber.<\/p>\n

The bus had room for at least 32 people, the newspaper reported.<\/p>\n

It is the latest crash in the Bolivian Andes, where the Inca Trail starts. Serious bus accidents often occur on mountainous roads in Andean countries like Bolivia and Peru.<\/p>\n

In March, a bus was on the route between Santa Cruz de la Sierra and Cochabamba when it crashed, killing at least 20 people and injuring dozens.<\/p>\n
