Five people were killed when a minibus plunged into a ditch in South Wollo, a zone in Ethiopia’s northern Amhara regional state, a local official said on Wednesday.

Reports say deadly traffic accidents are fairly common in Ethiopia due to bad roads, a flawed driving license issuance system, and lax enforcement of road safety rules. Enditem
