At least 24 people have been killed and 36 others injured after an intercity bus plunged into the Bafing River in northwestern Côte d’Ivoire.
The accident occurred on Monday morning along the Touba-Biankouma road as the bus was travelling from Odienne to Yamoussoukro with 69 passengers and crew members on board.
Authorities say the cause of the crash is still under investigation, while rescue teams continue searching for passengers believed to be missing.
