Zagora bus crash prompts inquiry; fifth death reported
A bus travelling from Marrakech to M’Hamid El Ghizlane overturned near Tagounite in Zagora province on 21 October 2026. Prosecutors initially reported four deaths; Yabiladi and Madar subsequently reported a fifth.
The prosecutor’s statement says the vehicle carried 26 passengers and announces an inquiry. SNRT reports treatment for 22 injured people in the initial tally.
The five-death toll rests on subsequent media information; no updated official statement was consulted. The causes of the crash remain to be established, and no technical hypothesis is presented as a finding.
