Three people were killed and 17 others injured Monday after a vehicle overturned on a rural road near Demnate, local authorities said.
The accident occurred in the Douar Illakt area in the Sidi Boulkhalf province, when a transport van lost control and slipped off the edge of an unclassified road connecting to Provincial Road 3015 near the Ait Toutline area.
Preliminary information indicates the crash was caused by the vehicle skidding before overturning, resulting in multiple casualties.
Emergency services, including local authorities, the Royal Gendarmerie and civil protection teams, were dispatched to the scene to secure the area and carry out rescue operations.
Seventeen injured passengers were transported by four ambulances to a local hospital in Demnate for treatment, while three victims were pronounced dead at the scene.
An investigation has been opened under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor to determine the circumstances and responsibilities surrounding the accident.
