Nine tourists die as bus overturns in Morocco
NINE people died and 14 were injured yesterday when a bus carrying 47 Portuguese tourists overturned in northern Morocco. The bus was travelling from the Spanish enclave of Ceuta towards the city of Tetouan when the accident occurred near the Errifiyyines area, local officials said.
Authorities were last night investigating the cause of the accident. The Moroccan state news agency, MAP, said that police suspected the driver had lost control of the vehicle because he was exceeding the speed limit.
Around 4,000 people die every year in Morocco in road accidents.
