KABUL: (Middle East Press) At least more than 40 people have lost their lives after two Lorries and a bus crashed in Tanzania’s highland region of Iringa, police say.
The accident took place when a lorry driver swerved to avoid a pothole, one of the Lorries’ containers fell on to the bus that had been heading to Dar es Salaam, leaving dozens dead.
The bus had been travelling from the south-western town of Mbeya to the commercial capital.
Iringa regional police commander Ramadhan Mungi said a further 23 passengers had been seriously injured and had been shifted to Mafinga hospital.
Traffic accidents are common in Tanzania, where the state of the roads and the vehicles is often poor.
All the bodies trapped between the Lorries had been removed, he said.
