Dahra, Senegal – A tragic road accident occurred yesterday, Wednesday, around 3 p.m., on the sandy track connecting the town of Dahra to the village of Nawel, in the commune of Kamb.

    Pourquoi autoriser ce genre de transport dangereux pour tout le monde

    Dans ce genre de cercueils roulants,c est que les personnes sont assises sur le toit,sans aucune protection ,ou même d un appui sur lequel s accrocher lorsque l engin valse,même une accélération suivie d un freinage suffit a propulser les passagers en avant.
    Mais comme c est souvent l unique moyen de transport pour faire certaines distances,alors les gens n ont pas vraiment le choix pour les éviter.
