Khartoum - Twenty-seven people were killed in Sudan on Monday
when a bus and a transport truck collided south of the capital
Khartoum, police said.
The crash happened near Al Gutayna, about 90km from Khartoum
in White Nile state.
The south-bound truck "deviated from its lane and entered the
other lane" where it hit the north-bound bus, police said on the
interior ministry website.
Among the dead were seven women and a child, while nine other
people were injured.
The crash happened in the final days of the Muslim holy month of
Ramadan, before next week's Eid al-Fitr festival.
Deadly road crashes are relatively common in Sudan and often
involve buses, leading to high numbers of casualties.
