On the 8th in Senegal, West Africa, 40 people were killed and many injured in an accident in which buses collided.
Following the accident, President Sall of Senegal announced that the whole country will be in mourning for three days from the 9th.
On the morning of the 8th, there was an accident in which two buses collided on a main road in Cafrin State, Senegal.
President Sal said on his Twitter account that 40 people were killed in the accident, while the Associated Press reported that about 80 people were injured, citing prosecutors.
In the video from the scene, you can see how the front of the bus body is severely damaged and does not retain its original shape, and how tires, bus seats, and shoes are scattered.
Prosecutors believe that the cause of the accident was that the bus's tire burst and protruded into the oncoming lane and collided with the oncoming bus.
The Associated Press reports that traffic accidents are frequent in Senegal due to poor maintenance of cars, and "This accident is one of the biggest accidents in recent years."
