Seven people were killed and 10 injured in Laâyoune in southern Morocco on Sunday, when a lorry hit upfront a coach, according to official sources.
The accident occurred 35km south of the southern city of Laâyoune at the road between the cities of El-Marsa and the fishing village of Tarouma.
The wounded people, including four seriously, were transported to Laâyoune cities.
The same day here in Fès, a man was killed and two injured when a jeep drove into a lighting mast.
During the last ten years, road accidents increased at a yearly basis of 3%, causing enormous economic losses. They cost the State about USD 1.2 billion a year, that is 2.5% of the GDP. Driver education is badly needed as is better policing of the state of vehicles and roads.
