At least 28 killed after Ethiopia bus crashes, falls into ravine, regional media says

At least 28 people were killed when a bus crashed into a ravine in Ethiopia's Amhara region. Regional state-run media cited police reports stating that the incident occurred as the bus traveled from Dessie to Addis Ababa. The article notes that deadly road accidents are frequent in Ethiopia due to poor driving standards and poorly maintained vehicles. A similar tragedy occurred in 2024 in the Sidama region, where 71 people died in a truck accident.

The bus was traveling from Dessie to the capital, Addis Ababa, when the crash occurred, the broadcaster said.

"So far, 28 people have lost their lives, while many others have sustained minor and serious injuries," it quoted police as saying.

Deadly road accidents are common in Ethiopia, where driving standards are often poor, and many vehicles are badly maintained. In 2024, at least 71 people died in the southern Sidama region after a truck plunged into a river.
