Accident spectaculaire à Koumpentoum : Un camion citerne explose sur la RN 1

A serious road accident occurred this Saturday, November 22nd, at around 4:30 PM on National Route 1, near the village of Touba Sam Sam, between Koumpentoum and Maléme Niani. The incident involved a Malian tanker truck carrying diesel fuel and a Renault passenger vehicle (license plate AA 512QHF).

The accident occurred when the private vehicle, travelling towards Dakar, collided head-on with the tanker truck.

Due to the force of the impact, the truck driver lost control, causing the vehicle to veer off the road. The tanker truck came to rest in the shoulder of the road where a bushfire was burning.

The contact between the tanker, the diesel leak, and the flames of the bushfire caused the truck to be immediately and completely engulfed in flames. The bushfire also intensified rapidly.

The authorities were quickly alerted. Currently, members of the road brigade of the Tambacounda gendarmerie company, firefighters, as well as local and administrative authorities are on site for the investigation and management of the fire.

The condition of the vehicle occupants and the human toll have not yet been specified.

    Pauvre journaliste ! La photo nous renseigne beaucoup plus que le narratif sur la marque du véhicule et la plaque d'immatriculation

    Le Mali commence à coûter trop chaire. Il est devenu un voisin encombrant.
    C'est bien la diplomatie de bon voisinage mais elle ne doit pas être placée au dessus de nos intérêts.
