On Sunday, April 19, a devastating car accident occurred on National Road Number 8, between the municipality of Mouzaia and the city of Chichaoua, resulting in the tragic deaths of three individuals—a young man and two young women—and injuries to seven others of varying severity. The accident was a direct collision between two large taxis, one traveling from Chichaoua towards Marrakech and the other heading in the opposite direction towards Agadir.
The impact of the collision was so severe that the three victims lost their lives instantly at the scene of the accident. Emergency services promptly transported the seven injured individuals to a regional hospital for urgent medical attention. In response to the incident, local authorities, along with royal gendarmerie and civil protection units, were mobilized to secure traffic on the affected road section and to transfer the deceased to the morgue.
Additionally, the royal gendarmerie has initiated a judicial investigation under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor's office to uncover the circumstances surrounding this tragic event. This incident underscores the importance of road safety and the need for ongoing vigilance when traveling on Morocco's roads.
