The collision happened early on Saturday morning around three miles away from the south-western city of Uyuni.

These buses were travelling on the main road to Colchani, around 10 miles north of the crash site.

Terrifying images showed a bus totally destroyed with half of its windows and body having been ripped off in the collision.

Luggage was also seen scattered on the roadside as people stood around the tragic site in shock.

One bus was on its way to Oruro, a city in western South America known for hosting one of the largest carnivals in the region. Unfortunately, the journey was marred by a tragic event.

Police rushed to the scene and local cop commander Wilson Flores revealed the shocking loss after the collision, according to Vision 360.

Reports indicate that around 37 individuals lost their lives in the accident, with approximately thirty others sustaining injuries. These injured individuals are currently receiving medical treatment at various hospitals, and their conditions are being assessed.

Both bus drivers involved in the deadly road collision were left with injuries.

One is in intensive care in hospital and the other is in a stable condition, the police chief said.

Preliminary police reports have suggested one of the buses invaded another lane before the crash.

Cops added that they tested the bus drivers for alcohol but were awaiting the results.

This has not been the first bus crash to kill dozens of people in Bolivia recently.

At least 30 people were killed when a vehicle plunged into a ravine in February.

The passenger vehicle was said to have lost control while speeding.

15 people were also injured when the bus fell into a half-mile-deep abyss.

This crash happened on a narrow two-way road between the cities of Potosi and Oruro, close to Saturday morning’s collision site.

38 people were also killed in another terrifying crash in December, after a packed bus collided with a lorry in Brazil before bursting into flames.

The bus, which was carrying 45 passengers, caught fire when one of its tires burst suddenly, causing the vehicle to veer out of control. Eyewitnesses described a horrifying scene unfolding before them.

The driver battled to keep it on the road before it ploughed into an oncoming lorry.
