Drame routier à Katiola : Un violent choc entre un car et un camion fait 3 morts

The tragic series of accidents continues on Ivorian roads. On the night of Tuesday, February 10th to Wednesday, February 11th, 2026 , a tragic accident on the Katiola-Bouaké road claimed the lives of three people and left several others seriously injured.

The circumstances of the tragedy

According to information released by the National Office of Civil Protection (ONPC), the accident involved:

  1. A 70-seat transport bus en route to Burkina Faso was parked at the time.
  2. A dump truck , which crashed head-on into the transport vehicle.

Human toll

The provisional toll from this collision is heavy:

  1. 9 victims in total ;
  2. 3 deaths confirmed on site;
  3. 4 seriously injured , immediately taken care of by civilian firefighters and evacuated to the Regional Hospital Centre (CHR) of Katiola.

A deadly night across the entire territory

This accident was unfortunately not the only one recorded that night. The country was the scene of another tragedy on the Zoukougbeu-Guessabo road, where a 70-seat bus ran off the road. This second incident resulted in 30 victims , including one death and 15 critically injured.

These tragedies come on top of the particularly deadly accident that occurred on Sunday, February 8, near the Bri bridge, involving a heavy truck and a "Massa" minibus.
