A collision between a bus and minibus in Tanzania has killed 38 people after both vehicles were set on fire by the crash, the presidency said Sunday.
The accident in Sabasaba, in the Kilimanjaro region, on Saturday evening occurred after one of the bus's tyres punctured, causing the driver to lose control.
"A total of 38 people died in the crash, including two women," a presidency statement said, adding that 28 others were wounded.
"However, due to the extent of the burns, 36 bodies remain unidentified," the presidency said.
Six of the injured were still in the hospital for treatment, it added.
