Police say an all-terrain vehicle carrying tourists flipped over in southern Bolivia, killing three Belgians, an Italian and a Peruvian.
Border Police commander Col. Rodolfo Salazar yesterday told The Associated Press that the driver lost control of the vehicle as it sped on the Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat and the main tourist destination in the country's south.
Police said that in addition to the five dead, three people were injured. The accident took place Saturday night about 300 kilometers (186 miles) south of La Paz, Bolivia.
