At least one woman was killed and another 53 passengers were wounded in a terrible traffic accident at Wad El Mukashif village, about 25 kilometres west of North Kordofan capital El Obeid on Friday.
The majority of the casualties had minor wounds but five passengers were seriously injured and taken to El Obeid Hospital for treatment.
Sudan’s Directorate of Highway Traffic attributed the accident to excessive speed and wrong overtaking of a bus along the Khartoum-En Nahud road.
The bus that caused the accident was coming from En Nahud town heading to Khartoum, a traffic policeman at the scene told Sudan News Agency (SUNA).
The Interior Ministry recently reported that from 2011 to 2012 there were 2,482 traffic accident victims in Sudan.
