Nine killed in Malawi bus crash

Nine people, one of them a Tanzanian, were killed and 36 others injured after the bus in which they were travelling overturned in northern Malawi, police said today.

The driver of the state-owned bus lost control yesterday on a bend in the Chiweta Hills in the district of Rumphi, said police spokesman Ephraim Chipojola.

Four other Tanzanians and a passenger from the Democratic Republic of Congo were also among those injured, he said.

Road crashes kill an average of four people per day in Malawi, according to officials figures.
