Appel au respect des limitations de vitesse

Call for compliance with speed limitations

Travelers’ transport bus drivers are called upon to show responsibility and respect speed limitations so as not to endanger the life of passengers. This is the call of the Minister of Transport, Saïd Sayoud, launched on the sidelines of the supervision of rescue operations following the fall of the bus in the wadi El Harrach (Algiers). The minister has deplored the increase in bus accidents recorded in recent years. “The renewal of the bus park is topical (…) more than 84,000 buses must be renewed in stages in the coming months,” he said to the press, ensuring, however, that “all of the active public transport buses are subject to the technical control which authorizes them to circulate”.

After gathering in memory of the victims of the accident and wanted a speedy recovery to the wounded, the minister announced the opening of an investigation to determine the exact circumstances and causes of the accident. The Minister went to the scene of the accident among an important official delegation including the director of cabinet to the Presidency of the Republic, Boualem Boualem, the Minister of the Interior, Local Communities and Regional Planning, Brahim Merad, the Minister of Hydraulics, Taha Derbal, the Director General of Civil Protection, Colonel Boualem Bourelaf, the Director General Badaoui, and the wali of Algiers, Mohamed Abdenour Rabehi. Yesterday, Saturday, the army general Said Chanegriha, Minister Delegate to the Minister of National Defense, chief of staff of the National People’s Army, went to the central army hospital in Ain Naâdja, the Salim-Zmirli specialized hospital establishment in El Harrach and the University Hospital Center (CHU) Mustapha-Pacha to inquire about the health of the injured.

Yesterday, it was the Minister of Health, Abdelhak Saihi, who went to the University Hospital Center (CHU) Mustapha-Pacha in Algiers to inquire about the health of the wounded. A statement from the ministry said that the Minister “praised the effective and immediate care of the injured by the military institution at the central hospital of the army in Aïn Naâdja”, specifies the press release, stressing “the mobilization of all medical and paramedical teams to ensure optimal care of all wounded”. “Thirteen victims of this accident will be buried in Algiers,” said the same source. “The ten citizens who plunged into the El Harrach wadi to help the victims were taken care of at the EHS of El Kettar (Algiers) and their state of health does not cause any concern,” concludes the same source.
