    The cause of Thursday’s crash is under investigation. Local teacher Edison Olivares said the highway is in bad condition with many potholes.

    Most likely one of those trailer converted to bus death traps that tip over easily, or the cabin comes apart from the trailer bed on a curve or uneven patch. Don't risk your life on one of these. Those who did probably don't have the money to pay for something a bit safer.

    Olivares said the nearest village didn’t have a doctor so the injured had to be transported to the larger town of Espinar. A doctor in Espinar told a local radio station that he asked the government for gasoline for the town’s only ambulance.

    Poverty that most readers of us can hardly imagine. Makes you realise how much we take for granted.
