Aschalew Alemu, Public Relations Chief at East Shoa Zone Police Department of Oromia regional state, said the accident happened when a bus carrying 40 passengers collided with a heavy-duty truck on Thursday evening. He added that 31 other people who suffered light and heavy injuries have been taken to nearby health stations for treatment. Alemu warned the public to avoid night time travel and overcrowded buses to lessen traffic accidents. The authority is toughening driving license regulations and is digitizing Ethiopia's transport regulation system at a cost of 95 million U.S. dollars in a bid to reduce the high accident rate on Ethiopia's roads.
