"Seven French tourists were killed in the crash. Thirteen tourists were seriously injured and 28 others are in less critical condition," the health ministry representative in the Taroudant province told Reuters by telephone. All 41 injured were French.

The loopy way people drive over there is mad... I'm surprised there aren't a hell of a lot more RTAs! God forbid.

Awful...
When is the Moroccan government going to do something about the state of the roads in Morocco and the unqualified drivers on them??

I think it would take an awfully long time before they achieve anything there... I'm sure that the roads there and driving standards are not their priority.
