A BUS DRIVER has reportedly been killed in Bolivia after his vehicle plunged from the road known as ‘el camino del muerte’, or the ‘death road’.
According to videos posted online, the driver made his 50 passengers disembark before attempting a particularly dangerous stretch of the road.
The North Yungas Road runs between Coroico and La Paz and is notoriously for its dangerous driving conditions.
Some of the onlooking passengers were attempting to help the driver to navigate the road when the bus skidded on the rubble-strewn path and fell down a ravine:

Horrific Just the driver died.

A shocking video captures the moment a bus plunged off a cliff on the 'world's most dangerous road'.
The jaw-dropping footage shows the driver creeping past the cliff's edge on a treacherous stretch of the Bolivian pass while a crowd tries to help guide his way.
One man who steps forward and gestures to the driver to help him steer further away from the edge does so in vain as it eventually tips forward with the weight of it carrying it over the side.
Heavy rain had made the Camino de la Muerte — or Road of Death — muddy and slippery making it especially dangerous to drive on.
The crowd looked on in horror as the bus fell 50 metres down the ravine killing the driver.
The 38-mile pass from La Paz to Coroico, Bolivia's Amazon region, claims an estimated 200 to 300 lives a year, The Sun reported.



In 1995 the Inter-American Development Bank reportedly christened it the 'world's most dangerous road.'
According to reports, the driver had been alone in the bus as he had unloaded his 50 passengers before attempting to negotiate the dangerous track.

That's terrible but does the cameraman always has to fuck it up?

Good thing he taped the muddy road and the trees.

I know, right? So many "could be great" clips are ruined by bad camera work. But I still think the sounds and the screams are gripping. Maybe because I've been on those roads earlier, I don't know. Screams are terrible

Although I have lots of training with filming and taking pictures, I don't think I would have done it any better. Most people would not when beeing so close to the incident. After all, they were his passengers
