Juba, South Sudan: At least 56 people have been killed after a bus travelling from South Sudan to Uganda crashed into a truck, doctors say.
"The police first brought something like 20 bodies ... all in all they brought 56," said Xaviour Okadi, a doctor at the main hospital in South Sudan's capital Juba.
The crash is one of the worst recent accidents in South Sudan.
The bus crashed shortly after dawn on Monday, on the main highway south to Uganda, some 25 kilometres from Juba.
