Bolivian police say a bus has crashed head-on with another vehicle and plunged down a deep ravine, killing at least 17 people and leaving 15 others injured.

Police Commander Vladimir Calderon says the bus tumbled down a roughly 1,000-foot (300-metre) deep ravine in the northern town of Yolosa.

Police Col. Rodel Cano tells Unitel television that Monday's accident apparently was due to excessive speed on a road slickened by heavy rains.
