News: Overloaded Isuzu truck carrying dozens atop grain overturns, leaving at least 19 dead in #Amhara region The accident shows the persistent risks associated with the widespread use of cargo trucks for passenger transport in rural Ethiopia, where limited transport options, now exacerbated by chronic fuel shortages across the country, often force residents to travel under dangerous conditions. Many of the victims were residents of the same locality, often traveling together in groups for work between Tsagibji and Ebnat localities. “Yesterday [Sunday] alone, we sent 17 bodies back to one specific area,” the official said, adding that several victims were members of the same families. The Deputy Commander also said the area where the accident occurred has been under the control of Fano fighters for the past three years, preventing authorities from reaching the scene to investigate the cause of the crash. https://addisstandard.com/?p=56655.
