At least 37 people dead, and many injured in a devastating head-on crash between two buses

At least 37 people lost their lives and many more were injured in a horrific crash between two buses.

The vehicles crashed on the route between the cities of Uyuni and Colchani in the western Potosi region of Bolivia, Reuters reported.

The incident happened in the early morning hours of Saturday, the Departmental Police Command of Potosi said in a statement.

“As a result of this fatal accident we have 39 people injured in four hospitals in the town of Uyuni, and 37 people have lost their lives,” a spokesperson of the police department states.

The injured people were transported to a hospital in Uyuni where they were provided with medical assistance.

As of those who tragically lost their lives, the police is still trying to identify their bodies.

The report by the Departmental Police Command of Potosi stated that the crash happened after one of the buses swerved into the oncoming lane, likely due to speeding.

At the scene, a crane had to be used to turn over one of the buses which had rolled over onto its side in order to be able to pull out the bodies.

This incident comes after one person died and three others were left injured after a bus and car collided on a residential street in north west London. 

When paramedics arrived at Whitmore Road in Harrow, they found a person fighting for their life, but sadly, nothing could be done.

The crash happened around 9pm on Monday.

“We were called at 9.17pm on 24 February to reports of a road traffic collision near Whitmore Road,” London Ambulance Service said.

“We sent multiple resources to the scene, including ambulance crews, a paramedic in fast response car, an incident response officer, members of our hazardous area response team (HART) as well as command support vehicles. 

“We treated four patients at the scene before taking two patients to a major trauma centre and discharging one patient at the scene.  

“Very sadly, despite best efforts of our crews, one person was pronounced dead at the scene.”
