A devastating road accident in Ivory Coast has claimed the lives of 21 people and injured at least 10 others. The tragic incident occurred on Sunday night on a road connecting the cities of Soubré and Gagnoa.
While specific details about the cause of the accident remain under investigation, the Ministry of Transport has urged all road users to prioritize safety by adhering to traffic regulations, avoiding reckless overtaking, and adjusting speed limits.
This latest tragedy highlights the ongoing issue of road safety in Ivory Coast, where accidents are a frequent occurrence.
Last year, the government implemented measures such as a point-based driver’s license system and road surveillance cameras to address this problem.
However, the high number of fatalities continues to be a serious concern.
