Published on December 2, 2019, a bus accident in northwest Tunisia has left a trail of death and destruction.
At least 26 people were killed when their bus careered into a ravine in the northwest of Tunisia, officials said in a new toll.
The health ministry reported that 17 people were also injured in the accident in a mountainous region popular with Tunisian tourists.
The disaster was one of the most deadly accidents in a country whose poor road safety record has sparked criticism of officials.
