AT least 30 people have been killed and 15 more injured after a bus tragically fell down a ravine in Bolivia.

The passenger bus is said to have lost control while speeding before plunging into a half-mile-deep abyss.

The accident happened on a narrow two-way road between the cities of Potosi and Oruro, with the route running along a ravine nearly half a mile deep.

At least 15 people injured in the crash — including three children — had been transferred to hospital, local news outlet Unitel reports.

Several were said to be in serious condition.

Authorities said that the crash was likely caused by speeding, with the driver “unable” to control the bus, according to Benavides.

It comes after 38 people were killed in a horror crash after a packed bus collided with a lorry in Brazil before bursting into flames.

The coach, carrying 45 passengers, caught on fire after one of its tyres suddenly blew out and sent the motor out of control, horrified witnesses said.

The driver battled to keep it on the road before it ploughed into an oncoming lorry.

Dozens of the passengers were ultimately killed along with the driver as the bus smashed off the concrete road.

Moments later the impact sparked a deadly inferno.

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva described the fatal smash as a “terrible tragedy” with harrowing images showing the burnt-out bus left on the side of the road.

It comes just months after three people were killed in a horrific bus crash carrying a Brazilian football team to a championship game.

Local media claims the trio who died were players from the American football team the Coritiba Crocodiles of the southern Brazilian city of Curitiba.

Meanwhile, seven people were killed and 15 injured after a luxury bus plunged into a 200ft gorge after slamming through a barrier.

The driver lost control and the vehicle, carrying 48 passengers, went through a crash barrier and fell about 35ft from the road.

Cops in Gujrat, India, said five people died instantly and 17 were taken to hospital with two later dying of their injuries.

Meanwhile, two people were killed in a horror bus crash on a busy German motorway.

Four others were seriously injured in the fatal smash after a coach carrying 14 passengers on a cross-country trip overturned and was left in a wreck on its side.

He was joined by Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for the final hours of its first winter games.

Harry looked tearful while delivering a farewell speech on stage at a closing ceremony, which also included performances by Barenaked Ladies and Jelly Roll.

Harry said: “So long as the challenges around us demand it and require it… the games will go on.

“Bring on Invictus Games Birmingham 2027. You have permission to party.”

Birmingham will be the first time the UK has hosted the games since London in 2014 when Wiliam and the King all attended in a show of support.

But Harry’s family have avoided him in recent years after he moved to the US and blasted the royals on Oprah Winfrey, a six-part Netflix series and his memoir Spare.

Meanwhile, despite his high-profile closing speech, Ex-home office minister Norman Baker claims the Duchess of Sussex, 43, “muscled in”, during her husband’s sporting event for wounded servicemen in Canada.

The pair made numerous appearances at the games – held in Vancouver and Whistler from February 8 – 16 – but some accused Meghan of show-stealing antics.

Prince Harry, 40, and Meghan cosied up to one another showing PDA at the opening ceremony.

Meghan also squealed with fear as she tried tubing down a slope. 

Royal author Norman claimed on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show: “It looked kind of like the Meghan show.

PUBLIC outrage over atrocities and terror attacks has pushed the justice system close to collapse, the head of a sentencing review claims.

Knee-jerk reforms after tragic events have filled prisons to breaking point, his report for the Government says.

Author David Gauke, a former Tory Justice Secretary, has called for a “system reset”.

In the first part of the review, out today, he recommends replacing some short jail terms with community sentences.

The Independent Sentencing Review chairman said: “Last year we were confronted with the consequences of decades of haphazard policy-making and underinvestment in the criminal justice system — bringing it to the brink of collapse.

“Politicians had increased sentencing for individual crimes without considering the impact. It does not deliver justice for victims, it fails them.”

The full analysis, due in the spring, will spell out how the Government will change the system.

The report accuses previous Governments of pursuing “penal populism” to try to show they are tough on crime.

However, Tory Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp hit back last night: “The truth is that prison works.

The review signals that Labour wants to be soft on crime and soft on the causes of crime.”

Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick said: “Labour should deport foreign national offenders and expand court capacity instead of plotting to abolish short sentences.”

MORE than 100 child sex abuse image crimes are being recorded by police every day, research shows.

There were 38,685 incidents logged by forces in England and Wales in the past year, according to Home Office data.

BBC presenter Huw Edwards avoided jail for receiving the worst category of child abuse images and videos – prompting The Sun to launch our Keep Our Kids Safe campaign[/caption]

The Sun launched our Keep Our Kids Safe campaign when disgraced BBC presenter Huw Edwards avoided jail after being sent child abuse images and videos of the worst category.

We are calling for every paedo caught with Category A images to get prison.

NSPCC research found half of all offences took place on Snapchat, with 11 per cent on Instagram, seven per cent on Facebook and six per cent on WhatsApp.

Charities including the NSPCC and Barnardo’s have today written to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and Tech Secretary Peter Kyle demanding tougher action on the worst kinds of online abuse.

The charities argue kids will not be protected from abuse on private messaging services under regulator Ofcom’s plans.

It is feared a loophole will mean messaging services and social media sites will only have to take down illegal content when it is “technically feasible” and not all the time.

NSPCC chief Chris Sherwood said: “It is an outrage that in 2025 we are still seeing a blatant disregard from tech companies to prevent this illegal content from proliferating on their sites.”

Marcus Johnstone of PCD Solicitors, who specialise in criminal defence for sexual offences, said: “The Government often talks about keeping the streets safe, and they are right to do so.

“But when so many serious crimes are committed online, it is the digital world that increasingly requires more policing: by authorities, parents, and the tech giants.”

A Government spokesman said: “The Government is committed to the robust implementation of the Online Safety Act to ensure it delivers on its aim to make the UK the safest place online for children.”
