Bus crashes kill 19 in Morocco, Algeria - Mhiz Rebecca - 01-07-2017
Two major bus crashes in Morocco and Algeria
killed a total of 19 people early Saturday and
injured almost three dozen more, media reported.
The worst accident took place in southern
Morocco when a truck collided with a passenger
bus on a highway near the city of Agadir, the MAP
news agency said.
Ten people were burned alive and 22 others were
injured, the agency said.
One of the injured was in serious condition and
had to be flown by helicopter to a hospital in
Marrakesh while the others were treated in
Agadir, it said.
In neighbouring Algeria, nine people were killed
and 12 injured early Saturday when a bus
overturned in M’Silah province south of the
capital Algiers, state television said.
The victims were five women, three men and a
child, it said.
Traffic accidents are common in Morocco and
Algeria where hundreds die each year on the
roads, mostly due to speeding or human error.
