Nepal, March 2 -- Two passenger buses collided Saturday on a highway in southern Bolivia, leaving at least 37 people dead including eight minors, police said, in the country's worst bus accident to date this year.

"So far we have 37 confirmed deaths," Colonel Wilson Flores told AFP of the crash near the city of Uyuni in the department of Potosi.

Another 41 people were injured and transported to hospitals, police said.

Six foreigners were among those killed: five Peruvians and a three-year-old German girl. Seven other minors also died.

The accident occurred on a narrow two-way road early Saturday.
