Three people died today, Tuesday, January 6th, while five others were injured with varying degrees of severity, including two critical cases, following a serious traffic accident on the road linking Imouzzer Kandar and the city of Ifrane.
According to local sources, the accident resulted from a strong collision between a first-class taxi and a tourist transport bus, under difficult weather conditions, with excessive speed and skidding caused by heavy snowfall likely being among the main causes. Upon being notified of the accident, elements of the Royal Gendarmerie and Civil Protection, along with representatives of the local authorities, moved to the scene, where the accident area was secured and traffic flow, which had stopped temporarily due to its seriousness, was organized. The injured were quickly transferred to the hospital to receive the necessary treatment, while investigations were opened by the competent authorities to determine the circumstances and details of the accident and to determine responsibilities. This accident comes in the midst of a wave of snowfall in the region, which requires road users to exercise the utmost caution and respect road safety conditions.
