At least 28 people were killed when a passenger bus fell into a deep ravine in northern Ethiopia on Monday, according to local authorities. The bus was traveling from the city of Dessie in the Amhara region toward the capital, Addis Ababa, when it plunged about 100 meters into the ravine. Many others were injured, some seriously, and survivors were taken to nearby medical centers. Authorities said an investigation into the cause of the crash is underway.
Road accidents are frequent in Ethiopia, Africa’s second most populous country, where many roads are in poor condition. The report, citing AFP, noted that the country has seen repeated deadly incidents in recent years. In December 2024, more than 70 people died when a vehicle carrying wedding guests fell into a river in southern Ethiopia.
Officials have not yet released details about the cause of the latest crash or the exact number of injured passengers, but rescue and investigation efforts continue.
