NAIROBI, June 15 (Reuters) – At least 28 people were killed when a bus plunged into a ravine in Ethiopia’s Amhara region, regional state-run Amhara Media Corporation reported on Monday, citing police.
• The bus was travelling from Dessie to the capital, Addis Ababa, when the crash occurred, the broadcaster said.
• “So far, 28 people have lost their lives, while many others have sustained minor and serious injuries,” it quoted police as saying.
• Deadly road accidents are common in Ethiopia, where driving standards are often poor and many vehicles are badly maintained.
• In 2024, at least 71 people died in the southern Sidama region after a truck plunged into a river.
