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 meters (2,625 feet) off a precipice in the southwestern municipality of Yocalla, said a police officer speaking from the local hospital.
"There are at least 30" deceased who have been counted already and are being transferred from the crash site to the morgue, Colonel Victor Benavides told AFP.
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 speed the bus was traveling at could have been a factor in the crash.
