Mozambican media say 23 people were killed when a vehicle veered into a crowd attending a party in the capital of the southern African nation. Radio Mocambique says the vehicle was traveling at high speed when it hit the crowd early Sunday in Maputo. A senior police official Paulo Langa says the driver of the vehicle ignored a police order to stop just before hitting the party-goers beside a pedestrian bridge on a main road. Radio Mocambique quotes Langa as saying the driver died. An investigation is underway.
