Algeria: Claims on the "Death Bus" Trigger Debate
Algerians reacted to a deadly bus accident in Boumerdès, where the prosecution confirmed that the driver was under the influence of drugs, with two narcotic pills found in his possession. His speed was recorded at 121.63 km/h, despite the speed limit being 60 km/h. The bus was carrying 64 passengers according to the license, even though its capacity was only 51 people. Investigations are still ongoing to determine all the circumstances of the incident. Legal experts have emphasized the importance of considering technical and mechanical factors in the accident, noting that focusing solely on the driver might overlook other contributing causes. The accident resulted in 27 fatalities and 36 injuries, being dubbed the "Death Bus," and sparking societal debates over the driver's responsibility and the investigation process. There are differing accounts: the official charge blames the driver, while other narratives mention a sudden technical failure in the braking system as the primary cause of the crash.
