At least 28 people were killed when a bus plunged into a ravine in Ethiopia's Amhara region, regional state-run Amhara Media Corporation reported on Monday, citing police, Reuters reports.
The bus was travelling from Dessie to the capital, Addis Ababa, when the crash occurred, the broadcaster said.
"So far, 28 people have lost their lives, while many others have sustained minor and serious injuries," it quoted police as saying.
Deadly road accidents are common in Ethiopia, where driving standards are often poor and many vehicles are badly maintained.
In 2024, at least 71 people died in the southern Sidama region after a truck plunged into a river.
