15 killed in Mamou, Guinea truck‑bus collision on RN1

At around 1–2 am on 28‑29 June 2026, a truck‑trailer collided with a passenger transport vehicle (Renault 505) on the Mamou‑Kindia axis at Diarabaka, about 7‑10 km from Mamou, Guinea, on National Road 1. Heavy rain and alleged excessive speed were reported as contributing factors.
