La Paz - Sixteen people died and 27 were injured in a bus accident in Bolivia's coca leaf-growing region, police said Monday.
The accident took place Sunday, when the bus carrying 43 people fell down a 200-metre ravine in the town of Pasto Pata, on the so- called Death Road. Two of the injured were in serious condition.
The road links La Paz, 3,600 metres above sea level, to the Yungas region, 800-1,500 metres above sea level. It generally runs parallel to the depressions opened by rivers as they descend towards the Amazon River, linking hundreds of rural villages.
