A shocking video captures the moment a bus plunged off a cliff on the 'world's most dangerous road'.

The jaw-dropping footage shows the driver creeping past the cliff's edge on a treacherous stretch of the Bolivian pass while a crowd tries to help guide his way.
One man who steps forward and gestures to the driver to help him steer further away from the edge does so in vain as it eventually tips forward with the weight of it carrying it over the side.

A crowd watches in anticipation as the bus makes its way along the road



Treacherous: The driver attempts to make it across the dangerous road as a men steps in to guide him

Heavy rain had made the Camino de la Muerte — or Road of Death — muddy and slippery making it especially dangerous to drive on.





The crowd looked on in horror as the bus fell 50 metres down the ravine killing the driver.

The 38-mile pass from La Paz to Coroico, Bolivia's Amazon region, claims an estimated 200 to 300 lives a year, The Sun reported.




Guidance: A lone man steps away from the crowd to offer the driver some assistance



Danger: Suddenly, the back of the bus starts to slide off the road down the hillside



Gravity strikes: The man stands helpless. There is nothing anyone can do

Gone: Leaving a cloud of dust in its wake, the bus slips down the hill

Plunge: An eyewitness tries to spot the bus after its fall, but the vehicle has completely disappeared in the undergrowth




In 1995 the Inter-American Development Bank reportedly christened it the 'world's most dangerous road.'

According to reports, the driver had been alone in the bus as he had unloaded his 50 passengers before attempting to negotiate the dangerous track.
