This morning, a tragic traffic accident occurred on a national highway in the suburbs, when two passenger buses traveling in opposite directions collided head-on at high speed. The strong collision caused both vehicles to immediately burst into flames, turning the scene into a terrifying sea of fire.
According to information from the authorities, the accident claimed the lives of at least 38 people, including many children and women. More than a dozen others were seriously injured and are currently being treated at the nearest hospitals.
Witnesses at the scene said that the sound of the collision was like an explosion, followed by black smoke and flames shooting tens of meters high. “Oh my god… there were screams everywhere, people panicked and tried to escape, but the fire was too big,†a witness choked up.
Rescue and fire forces were immediately present to control the fire and search for trapped people. However, due to the rapid spread of the fire and the thick smoke, rescue work encountered many difficulties. At present, the cause of the accident is still under investigation, but according to initial assessments, bad weather and limited visibility may have been contributing factors to this tragedy.
Local authorities have declared a day of mourning for the victims and pledged to provide maximum support to the families of the victims.
This is one of the most serious road traffic accidents in recent years, once again sounding the alarm about traffic safety and speed control on major routes.
