A cargo plane carrying cash has crashed near Bolivia's capital.
Officials say about a dozen vehicles were damaged on a highway, and at least 15 people were killed. It isn't clear if the casualties were in the plane or in the damaged cars.
Defense Minister Marcelo Salinas said the Hercules C-130 plane was transporting newly printed Bolivian currency when it "landed and veered off the runway" at an airport in El Alto, which is near the capital of La Paz.
Boliviano notes were reportedly strewn over the ground near the crash site.
