At least 31 people have died and nine others hurt in a head-on collision in Morocco between a truck and a coach containing teenage athletes and officials.
Two of the wounded are in a serious condition as a result of the accident which happened near the southern city of Tan-Tan.
Many of those who died were killed in the fire that engulfed the bus after it collided with a tanker carrying hydrocarbons.
The tanker was reportedly flattened.
The coach was reportedly transporting the young people from a national sports competition in Bouznika, a beach resort in the north between the capital Rabat and Casablanca.
Report said 10km runner Hassan Issengar, a well-known Moroccan sportsman, was among the dead.
Road accident fatalities have increased in recent years as more Moroccans own cars.
Although the main cities are linked by motorways, much of the country is still limited to two-lane, poorly maintained roads.
About 4,000 people die on the roads of Morocco each year, the equivalent of about 11 people a day in a country of 34 million people.
The worst road accident happened in September 2012 when 42 people died after their bus plunged into a ravine.
