What happened

Bolivia confirms 9 deaths after military base explosion.

This report was surfaced through continuous monitoring of global news coverage and links to the original outlet below.

Where it happened

Bolivia as a whole records an estimated 1,972 road deaths a year (WHO rate 15.9 per 100,000). In an emergency in Bolivia dial 110 (police) / 118 (fire); from most GSM mobile phones 112 also connects to local services. See the Bolivia live accident page for everything reported there in the last 24 hours.

The human toll in context

Bolivia loses a WHO-estimated 5 people every day on its roads, so a single event killing 9 exceeds an entire average day's national toll in one moment. Behind the statistic are families, and behind the pattern are fixable causes: speed, fatigue, overloading, poor vehicle maintenance and impaired driving account for most multiple-fatality incidents worldwide.
