Algerian – (Special Correspondent/Web Desk) – An Algerian bus plunges ravine 25 killed news has left the nation in shock this Friday morning. The bus was travelling near the coastal town of Boumerdes when it suddenly left the road and fell into a deep ravine.

The crash happened close to Algiers, the country’s capital city. Officials from Algeria’s civil defence agency confirmed the tragic news to local media.

At least 25 people lost their lives in the accident. Sadly, officials fear the number of deaths could still go up in the coming hours.

So far, no one knows exactly why the bus left the road. Investigators are now looking into what may have caused this deadly crash.

This accident is being called one of the worst road tragedies Algeria has seen in recent years. It has brought back painful memories of past bus accidents in the country.

Just last year, in August, another bus fell into a ravine close to Algiers. That crash sadly killed eighteen people.

In December, a similar tragedy struck again. A bus flipped over in the southern area of Bechar, killing fourteen passengers.

These repeated accidents point to a bigger problem on Algeria’s roads. Experts say human mistakes, especially fast driving, are often the main reason behind such crashes.

According to Algeria’s road safety officials, the numbers are alarming. In 2025 alone, close to four thousand people died in road accidents across the country.

More than thirty-seven thousand people were also injured in road crashes last year. These figures show just how serious the road safety issue has become.

Bus travel is common in Algeria, especially for people moving between cities and towns. Many families depend on buses for daily transport and long trips.

Because of this, accidents like the one in Boumerdes affect many families deeply. Entire communities are often left grieving after such sudden and painful losses.

Local authorities are expected to share more updates as the investigation continues. Families of victims are anxiously waiting for confirmed names and further details.

For now, the focus remains on helping the injured and supporting grieving families. Emergency workers continue their efforts at the crash site as the search operation goes on.

This heartbreaking event serves as a strong reminder about the need for better road safety. Many hope this tragedy will lead to real changes in how road accidents are prevented in the future.

As news continues to develop, people across Algeria and beyond are sending prayers and support to those affected by this devastating crash.
