YAOUNDE, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- At least 38 people were killed and several others injured in two separate road accidents in Cameroon on Thursday, according to the country's Minister of Transport Jean Ernest Massena Ngalle.
The first accident followed a collision between a passenger bus in the Center region that killed 16 people and the second tragedy occurred in the country's West region when a truck carrying sand collided head-on with a bus, killing 22 people on the spot, Ngalle said in a statement released Thursday afternoon.
"Road users, more than ever before, need to respect the highway code and especially respect speed limits," Ngalle said, adding that defaulters will be sanctioned. Enditem
