MARACAIBO/CARACAS (Reuters) - Baseball coach Adolfo Alvarez was traveling to a game with a group of children and their parents toward Venezuela´s northwestern city of Maracaibo, when the bus' engine suddenly caught fire.
The blaze was caused by a fuel leak, according to firefighters, who say this has become increasingly common in Venezuela due to the rising cost of maintenance for autos, trucks and buses following years of economic turmoil.
