7 die; 15 hurt
NZPA Rabat New Zealand tourists were among a group travelling in a bus which plummeted down a mountain ravine in southern Morocco last week, killing seven Europeans and badly injuring 15 others. The crash occurred on Thursday, when a bus owned by a British tour company swerved to avoid a rock, said Moroccan police. The edge of the
road caved in, and the 25passenger vehicle fell into the ravine. The police said the dead were four British men, one Irish woman, a German man, and a Dutch woman. They said the 15 injured tourists — none of whose names are available yet — were hauled out of the ravine and taken by ambulance to a hospital in Agadir. a coastal city about 250 km away from the accident.
