Bus death plunge caught on video

A crowd of people has looked on in horror as a bus plunged 50 metres down a ravine in Bolivia, killing the driver.

The accident, on what has been called the world's most dangerous road - a muddy track from La Paz to Coroico - was captured on video.

The vision reveals the driver attempting to negotiate the dangerous, rain-sodden pass, with several people trying to guide him away from the edge.

The 60km track in the country's Amazon area is thought to claim up to 300 lives a year.

The driver was reportedly alone in the bus after about 50 passengers got off before he tried to negotiate the road.
