17 killed in a road accident in Tanzania
Dodoma, The Gulf Observer: At least 17 people were killed and 12 others injured in road accident between a truck and a mini-bus in Tanzania’s northern district of Korogwe in the Tanga region, an official said on Saturday.
The Tanga regional commissioner, Omary Mgumba, said in a statement that the mini-bus was carrying 26 mourners and a body from Dar es Salaam to Moshi in the Kilimanjaro region for burial when the accident occurred on Friday night.
The truck collided head-on with the mini-bus after its driver failed to take precautions as he overtook another vehicle, Mgumba said.
