Twenty-one people lost their lives when a passenger bus and a cargo truck collided in the Masumbo area of Iringa Region, a tragedy that has drawn a personal response from the country's highest office.
President Samia Suluhu Hassan has sent a condolence message directly to Iringa Regional Commissioner Kheri James, acknowledging the grief that now weighs on the region and the families left behind.
Iringa is mourning, and the nation is watching closely to see what comes next for road safety on that corridor.
