Drame de la route à Loukou Yaokro : 20 blessés dans une violente collision sur l’axe Toumodi-Dimbokro
Sunday, April 5, 2026, will be remembered for a serious traffic accident near the village of Loukou Yaokro. A head-on collision between a private vehicle and a minibus resulted in 20 injuries and required a significant emergency response from the National Office of Civil Protection (ONPC) in the Bélier region. The impact, which occurred mid-morning, sent both vehicles off the road, trapping several passengers in the wreckage.
The rescue team reported two people in critical condition, including a woman suffering from a severe head injury. The 18 other passengers, among them a two-year-old child miraculously spared from serious injury, sustained various traumas and intense physical pain. Civilian firefighters had to act swiftly to extricate the victims and administer first aid before their transfer to the Toumodi hospital.
This accident occurred amid heavy traffic on Ivorian roads during this festive period, when caution is more important than ever. Authorities reiterate the critical importance of respecting safe following distances and speed limits, as dangerous overtaking remains a major cause of road fatalities in the region. An investigation has been launched by the gendarmerie to determine the exact cause of this accident, which could have been far more tragic.
