A 22-year-old Tunisian bride and her 20-year-old sister died after a traffic accident near the governorate of Sousse, south of Tunis.

The car carrying the bride and her sister collided with a cargo truck, promptly dying, while the two drivers were seriously injured and taken to hospital for treatment.

The bride was returning from the saloon towards a nearby town where guests were waiting for her to arrive for the wedding, when the driver of the car in which she was driving was forbidden and hit a heavy truck.
