A bus carrying 35 passengers traveling from Yemen to Saudi Arabia overturned on Friday killing at least seven people and injuring more than a dozen others, official sources said.
The accident took place at Bani Mansour road in the western province of Hodeida. The bus belonged to the Rowaishan Transport Company which confirmed the death of only five passengers.Sources at the company noted that the overturning occurred due to mud caused by torrential rain that lashed many parts of the republic in the last few weeks.Some survivors, about six, have already arrived in Hodeida to continue their trip with another bus, the sources said.An ambulance rushed to the site and took the injured including the driver to hospital, they added.
