A tragic accident in southern Ethiopia's Sidama region claimed 71 lives, including a bridegroom, when a wedding caravan crashed Sunday night, local authorities reported Monday.

The Regional Police Commission confirmed that 68 men and 3 women died, while two others sustained critical injuries and are receiving treatment at Bona General Hospital.
Authorities cited the hazardous road conditions and the common practice of traveling on truck beds as factors contributing to the tragedy.
