A truck carrying wedding guests crashed into a river in Ethiopia, killing at least 71 people.

According to foreign media such as Newsweek and CBS, a truck driving on the road in Ethiopia's Sidama region lost its balance and crashed into the river on the 29th (local time).

At the time, the truck was reportedly heading to the wedding hall with guests on board.




So far, 68 men and three women have been killed, and five are in critical condition.

Local police assumed that the truck driving along the heavily curved road had excessively lost its balance and crashed into the river.

The fallen truck sank into the river, resulting in a high death toll.




One resident said music was playing from the truck just before the accident and passengers were dancing and waving.

Authorities expressed their condolences to the bereaved families and expressed hope for the injured to recover quickly. It also said it would investigate the cause of the accident.
