Bus crash in northern Algeria causes 25 deaths
Twenty-five people were killed and 44 others injured in a bus accident in Boumerdes Province in northern Algeria, about 50 kilometers east of the capital. Investigations showed that the bus, coming from Sétif, veered off course and tumbled down a slope on a national road. Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune offered his condolences and announced a national three-day mourning period, during which flags will be flown at half-mast across the country. This incident is considered one of the deadliest road accidents in Algeria, the most recent being the death of 34 people in a collision in Tamanrasset in July 2023. Overall, the country is experiencing an increase in traffic fatalities, with last year's statistics reporting 3,838 deaths and over 37,000 injuries in approximately 27,000 road accidents.
