Bus crash kills 33

Some 33 people have died after a bus crashed into a truck in north-eastern Tanzania.

Police said the accident happened yesterday afternoon in Korogwe, about 131 miles north-west of the commercial capital, Dar es Salaam, according to Tanzania Broadcasting Corporation (TBC).

The bus was carrying the passengers to Dar es Salaam from the north-western town of Arusha, the station said.

Five people seriously injured in the accident remained at the hospital at Korogwe. Other passengers had minor injuries and were discharged after being treated.

Buses are Tanzania’s main public transport between towns and many bus drivers exceed the speed limit.
