Duékoué : trois morts dans une collision violente entre un camion et une moto

A serious traffic accident claimed the lives of three people on Thursday, December 18, 2025 , in the village of Diahouin , located approximately 13 kilometers from Duékoué , on the Duékoué–Man road, in western Ivory Coast. The tragedy involved a heavy truck and a motorcycle carrying three occupants.

According to initial witness statements gathered at the scene, the motorcyclist, accompanied by two passengers, reportedly attempted to avoid a truck parked on the road without any warning lights . While trying to evade the obstacle, he veered into the oncoming lane before colliding head-on with a truck traveling in the opposite direction .

The force of the impact was fatal to all three occupants of the motorcycle. Alerted, the Guémon fire brigade was dispatched to the scene and confirmed three deaths . According to their report, the victims are:

-two women , aged 30 and 40 ,

-a 45-year -old man ,

All were found lifeless when emergency services arrived. After examination, the bodies were transferred to the funeral home.

An investigation has been opened to determine the exact circumstances of the accident, although the presence of a truck parked without signage already appears to be an aggravating factor.

This tragedy is part of a series of fatal accidents on Ivorian roads, particularly those involving trucks stopped without safety equipment. In recent weeks, several similar collisions have been reported on various intercity highways, resulting in a heavy death toll.

Authorities and transport operators are once again being called upon to strengthen compliance with parking, signage, and traffic regulations in order to prevent further tragedies. Road users, for their part, are urged to exercise caution, particularly on roads frequently used by freight vehicles.
