Fatal Road Accident in Driouch Leaves One Dead, Several Injured

A serious traffic accident occurred last night on the road linking Ain Zohra and Oulad Aissa in Morocco’s Driouch province. The crash involved a truck (Isuzu) and two light vehicles—a Mercedes 250 and a rental Cupra.

According to local sources, the collision resulted in the immediate death of a man in his fifties, while several others suffered injuries of varying severity, requiring urgent evacuation to the regional hospital.

Emergency services, including the Royal Gendarmerie, local authorities, and civil protection units, responded quickly to the scene, launching an investigation to determine the exact cause of the crash.

Preliminary reports suggest excessive speed or loss of vehicle control may be behind the tragic accident.

The incident has reignited public debate around road safety in regional areas, where poor infrastructure and traffic violations often contribute to recurring accidents.
