A military cargo plane carrying new Bolivian banknotes crashed near the capital on Friday after skidding off a runway and plowing into a busy road in the neighbouring city of El Alto, with at least 15 confirmed dead and more than 30 others injured.<\/p>\n

The crash occurred at 6:20pm local time (2220GMT) as the plane was landing at the El Alto International Airport, having departed from Santa Cruz, the nation\u2019s air traffic control authority reported.<\/p>\n

The Bolivian Air Force C-130 Hercules aircraft had departed from the eastern city of Santa Cruz and veered off the runway before striking multiple vehicles on a crowded avenue.<\/p>\n

It damaged a dozen cars before coming to rest in a nearby field, officials confirmed.<\/p>\n

Fire Chief Pavel Tovar said emergency crews were still determining whether the fatalities occurred on board the aircraft or among motorists on the highway.<\/p>\n

Firefighters later extinguished flames caused by the impact.<\/p>\n

The plane was transporting newly printed Bolivian banknotes, which scattered across the roadway during the crash.<\/p>\n

This prompted chaotic scenes as residents rushed to collect the cash while police in riot gear attempted to disperse crowds.<\/p>\n

Authorities also used water hoses to push people from the debris area.<\/p>\n

The Defence Ministry did not immediately release operational details.<\/p>\n

The state air navigation authority NAABOL said the aircraft had flown from Santa Cruz, while officials continued to investigate whether the crash occurred during landing or takeoff.<\/p>\n
