At least 71 people were killed after a truck full of engers plunged into a river in southern Ethiopia over the weekend.

The truck fell into a river on Sunday evening in the Bona district of Sidama state, around 300km south of the capital Addis Ababa, the regional communication bureau said.


Five engers were itted to hospital in a critical state and were under treatment, according to Wosenyeleh Simion, spokesperson for the Sidama regional government.

At least three women were among those killed in the accident, he told Reuters.

Some of the engers were returning from a wedding ceremony, Mr Simion said, adding that traffic police in the area had reported the truck was overloaded, which likely caused the accident


Police said the truck missed a bridge on a road with many bends and fell into the river.



Authorities did not reveal how many people were on the truck or provide details about the victims. But it was reported that multiple of some families were killed.

Pictures shared by the Sidama Regional Health Bureau on Facebook showed a crowd of people trying to pull out the vehicle with the help of ropes. One picture showed the dead bodies lying on the ground covered in blue tarpaulin.

Deadly traffic accidents are common in Ethiopia, where driving standards are poor and many vehicles badly maintained.

The kind of suffering in Yoruba land is alarming.

I was in Ekiti last week and mennnn!

Jesu.
Accidents are obviously uncontrollable.
But safety measure can’t be over emphasized.
Bridge should have tall and strong barriers.
Every driver should always make sure their vehicle is in good condition and meet safety standards.
Don’t overload.
Don’t go above speed limits.
RIP to the lost souls..
Safety first.

This dropping is becoming something else here. Its mostly coming from one region and s doesn't want to do anything about it. Open Why not open a section for them here!
