Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Five people died in a head-on collision between a passenger minibus and a truck in Inharime district, Inhambane province, southern Mozambique, on Monday, local administrator Elsa Tomo has reported.<\/p>\n

Tomo said four people died on the scene and, according to this Tuesday\u2019s edition of the daily \u2018Not\u00edcias\u2019, one of the 11 seriously injured died later. The driver of the minibus, which overturned, fled the scene.<\/p>\n

The accident occurred in the Chongola area near the Z\u00e1vora Crossing, on National Road Number 1 (EN1), according to Tuesday\u2019s edition of Not\u00edcias. The IZUZU truck involved was reportedly carrying cargo but was also taking passengers to the village of Sihane, on Z\u00e1vora beach.<\/p>\n

Mozambique has a high incidence of road accidents, with internal and international reports routinely citing the country\u2019s roads as among the most dangerous in Africa.<\/p>\n

Poor driving, poor vehicle maintenance and the degradation of roads are indicated as the main cause of the high number of road accidents in the country.<\/p>\n
