Most of those on the truck were men because they are culturally required to escort the bride from her home to the groom’s house.
Villagers said they tried to save people from the raging river only with sticks.

“The area always has regular accidents around the river as it is poorly constructed,” said resident Fasil Atara, referring to the road lacking bumps and warnings.
He said those patients in need of more sophisticated critical care were transferred to a bigger hospital in Hawassa.
