This is an interesting picture.  The road to the jungle is

the main road from Cochabamba to Santa Cruz and

therefore heavy traffic.  However the condition of the

road is very, very bad.   For one thing it goes up and

over the Andes, lots of rain washes out the road all

the time.  In fact the bookkeeper at the school and

her husband were involved in a landslide on this 

very road 3 mo.s ago and had to hike over the land

slide.  They were stranded 3 days before they got

out.  Let me tell you it gets cold up there at night,

and the facilities are few and far between and very 

primitive at best!  Anyway, this truck was coming

down the grade, and it is steep all the way with

no safety pull out for run away trucks.  Evidently

his truck got away from him and the trailer got

in front of the tractor and jack knifed.  Didn't

look like the driver was hurt, but bet he had a

heck of a time getting out of that cab.  Luckily,

it happened at one of the wider stretches in the

road or it would have taken hours to get traffic

around the wreck.  Notice it was on gravel!  The

dust was terrible.  Had to wait a few min.s just

to get a clear picture.  Had to say a thanks prayer 

for the driver because the other side of the 

road was a drop off to a deep gorge with a

river at the bottom.  The outcome might have

been very different if the truck had swung the

other direction.  Notice the sign under the

truck cab, it is a no passing sign!  A little

satirical don't you think!
