Traffic accident in northern Ethiopia leaves 13 dead

Addis Ababa/Xinhua/UNI: A traffic accident in Ethiopia's Amhara regional state in the northern part of the country has left 13 people dead, local authorities said on Monday.

In a press statement, Guagusa Shekudad, local communications officer in Amhara regional state, said the traffic accident happened on Monday morning when a freight truck travelling on the road collided with a transport minibus travelling on the opposite side of the road, leaving at least 13 people dead.

Several people who were injured in the traffic accident have been sent to nearby medical institutions for further medical treatment.

Although Ethiopia has one of the lowest per capita car ownership rates in the world, deadly traffic accidents are fairly common, with the blame put on bad roads, reckless driving, a flawed driving license issuance system and lax enforcement of safety rules.
