At least 19 people have been killed and 24 injured in northern Senegal when a bus and a truck collided.
According to officials, the bus collided with the truck on the Number 2 national road as it swerved to avoid running over an animal.
President Macky Sall sent heartfelt condolences to the families of those killed in the accident, adding that the incident shows the need to strengthen road safety measures in the West African country.
The accident came just eight days after Senegal was plunged into mourning following the collision of two buses in the early morning of January 8, leaving 40 dead and more than 100 injured.
