Two buses have collided in Syria, killing at least 35 people and injuring 30 others, the country’s health ministry said.
The accident happened on Saturday on the Deir ez-Zor-Damascus road, an important highway stretching over 400km that connects eastern Syria with the capital.
The accident reportedly happened between Al-Sukhnah and Palmyra.
According to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), several helicopters have been sent to the scene of the accident to evacuate the injured to the Homs Military Hospital.
The Ministry of Interior has said that ambulances have also been dispatched.
The highway is known for its poor safety standards, reflecting the dire state of civilian security in Syria following the nearly 14-year civil war.
In October, Minister of Disaster Management and Emergency Response Raed al-Saleh said that more than 2,000 road accidents had occurred from January to the end of September.
Al-Saleh said such accidents are “some of the causes of death in Syria”.
