An investigation into the cause of the accident has been opened, authorities say. At least 24 people have died after a vehicle crashed in Morocco in one of the deadliest accidents in recent years in the country. Sunday’s crash is the latest in a string of deadly road accidents in the North African nation. Last summer 23 people died when a bus overturned on a motorway east of Casablanca, the country’s economic capital. That crash involving the young athletes was the deadliest in Morocco since 2012 when a bus plunged into a ravine killing 42 people.
