At least 13 people were killed early Tuesday when a cargo truck collided head on into a minibus on a highway in Bolivia's La Paz department, Trend reports citing Xinhua.

The accident occurred along the highway linking La Paz and Carabuco in the west, the head of the local transit William Cordero told reporters.
