             Police Say at Least 51 Killed in Zambia Road Accident

   by  Reuters

   At least 51 people died on Thursday when a bus and a truck collided
   about 100 km (60 miles) north of Zambian capital Lusaka, police said.

   Police spokeswoman Elizabeth Kanjela said the death toll could rise as
   soldiers and firefighters were still checking the wreckage for trapped
   bodies.

   "So far we have counted 51 bodies but there could be one or two people
   more that are still trapped,'' Kanjela said. The cause of the accident
   was under investigation, she said.

   Zambian roads are extremely dangerous and buses and other vehicles are
   often overloaded or poorly maintained.
