Guinée: 15 passagers, dont des élèves, tués dans un accident de la circulation
At least 15 people, including "several young students" leaving for their holidays, were killed in a traffic accident on Sunday night in central Guinea, civil protection officials announced.
The incident, which occurred near Mamou, took place around "1 a.m., in heavy rain, in a bending area", according to the same source.
It involved "a vehicle carrying 16 passengers, including several young students on holiday", which "collided with a semi-trailer truck", the civil protection service said.
Only one survivor has been identified and "evacuated in serious condition, and the bodies of the victims were transported to the morgue of the regional hospital in Mamou", according to the same source.
An investigation has been launched to determine the exact circumstances of this tragedy.
Serious road accidents are frequent in Guinea due to the poor condition of the roads, the age of the vehicles and the reckless driving of drivers.
Heavy rainfall makes driving conditions even more difficult.
