Ethiopia road accident kills at least 60

At least 60 people died in Ethiopia when a truck packed with passengers plunged into a river, authorities in the southern Sidama region said.

The regional communication bureau said the accident happened in the Bona district in a statement issued late on Sunday.

"Those who survived are now taking treatment at Bona General Hospital," it said, without further details.

The state-run Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation (EBC) reported that the passengers were traveling to a wedding when the accident occurred on Sunday.

Deadly traffic accidents are common in Ethiopia, where driving standards are poor and many vehicles badly maintained.

At least 38 people, mostly students, were killed in 2018 when a bus plunged into a ravine in Ethiopia's mountainous north.
