Senegal’s President Macky Sall has said a second road accident this month involving mass casualties had underlined the need for better road safety measures.
On Monday morning, 19 people were killed when a bus and another vehicle collided in the country’s north.
The bus driver was trying to avoid hitting a donkey when the collision happened, the AFP news agency quotes a witness as saying.
Last week, the president declared three days of mourning after a crash involving two buses left 40 people dead.
The government also banned buses from travelling at night and ended the practice of importing second-hand tyres.
This morning, Mr Sall sent his condolences to the families of those who died in the latest incident.
