Thirty eight people died and about 80 were wounded in central Senegal after two buses collided in the early hours of Sunday, according to statements by President Macky Sall and local officials.

The crash, one of the deadliest in the West African country’s recent memory, was on one of the main east-west arteries near the town of Kaffrine, about 220km southeast of the capital Dakar.

The accident occurred after the tyre of one passenger bus burst, sending it into the path of an oncoming bus says a statement from the area’s local prosecutors.
