The likely cause is the driver losing control of the vehicle,” the transport ministry said in a statement.It added that the victims included Malians and citizens from other regions in West Africa.Road accidents are common in Mali because of the poor condition of many roads and vehicles, as well as overloaded and poorly regulated public transportation.Earlier this month, 15 people were killed and 46 were injured after a bus heading towards the capital Bamako collided with a truck, according to AFP news agency.Related TopicsMaliAfricaRoad safetyMore on this storyItalian family in good health as Mali kidnap ordeal endsPublished10 hours agoWhy West Africa’s united front is in tattersPublished10 FebruaryDozens reported dead in river boat attack in MaliPublished8 September 2023Top StoriesPost Office confirms boss is under investigationPublished3 hours agoNetanyahu and Biden spar over Israel-Gaza war supportPublished4 hours agoGodson and friend guilty of Run-DMC star’s murderPublished1 hour agoFeaturesGazans in survival mode with cold nights and food rationsWhy firms are racing to produce green ammoniaSecondary school places: What parents need to knowWalkers spot ‘breathtaking’ cloud inversionsThe young refusing to become Myanmar’s ‘human shields’Hear the fish louder than a jackhammer.

Alaska Airline said it expects “to bring our first few planes back into scheduled commercial service on Friday”, with more planes added every day as inspections are completed.United Airlines said it had received final approval from the FAA to complete the process of returning its 79-strong fleet of 737 Max 9 planes to service.The company’s chief operations officer Toby Enqvist said the airline was preparing to start flying the aircraft again from 28 January. On 5 January a door plug on an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 blew off shortly after take-off, terrifying passengers, and forcing an emergency return to the Portland, Oregon airport.Bosses of both Alaska Airlines and United Airlines have expressed frustration with Boeing over the grounding of the 737 Max 9, which has caused major disruptions to their services.In an interview with NBC News, Alaska Airlines boss Ben Minicucci said there was “no doubt” that the plane came “off the production line with a faulty door”.He said airline inspections since the incident found “many” loose bolts. “I’m more than frustrated and disappointed,” he said. “I am angry.”United Airlines chief executive, Scott Kirby, also told CNBC that he is “disappointed”.”The Max 9 grounding is probably the straw that broke the camel’s back for us,” he said, adding that “we’re going to build a plan that doesn’t have the [Boeing] Max 10 in it”.United also said earlier this week that it expected to lose money because of the grounding.On Wednesday, the head of Boeing, David Calhoun, faced questions from lawmakers in Washington to explain what led to the mid-air emergency.The latest incident raises fresh questions about the safety of Boeing’s aircraft.The company faced intense scrutiny after two fatal crashes of 737 Max 8 passenger jets in 2018 and 2019, which killed 346 people.Related TopicsBoeingAviation safetyMore on this storyBoeing boss faces Washington grilling after blow-outPublished10 hours agoUnited Airlines to lose money over Boeing groundingsPublished1 day agoSecond Boeing model to be inspected after blowoutPublished2 days agoMid-flight blowout a big problem for BoeingPublished8 JanuaryTop StoriesRussia risked lives in downed plane, says ZelenskyPublished3 hours agoUK to loan back Ghana’s looted ‘crown jewels’Published6 hours agoChild obesity in pandemic could have lifelong effects, study saysPublished9 hours agoFeaturesDowned Russian plane leaves unanswered questionsThe Papers: UK ‘should have citizen army’ and Royal Mail cutbacksHas Sunak seen off latest Tory wobbles?South Africa fire survivors living in unsafe shacksMichael Owen: I’d pay anything for my son to see againRecords broken but Barbie snubbed – 6 Oscars talking pointsOscars 2024: List of nominations in fullSkepta: I’m bored of the black James Bond narrativeHeartache and betrayal behind ‘secret’ policeElsewhere on the BBCTracing the historical origins of British comedy tropesIan Hislop’s on the hunt tracks for the earliest examples of enduring British jokesAttributionSoundsBailiffs behaving badly…With councils increasingly using bailiffs, File on 4 examines the industry’s tacticsAttributionSoundsThe sound effect that became the ultimate movie in-jokeIt’s used in everything from Toy Story to Reservoir Dogs, but what is the Wilhelm Scream?AttributioniPlayerSamantha Harvey’s critically acclaimed new novelA thoughtful tale of space and the human experience, through the eyes of six astronautsAttributionSoundsMost Read1Halle Berry’s film shelved by Netflix – US media2Captain Cook statue sawn off ahead of Australia Day3US inmate hours away from first nitrogen execution4UK ‘should have citizen army’ and Royal Mail cutbacks5Russia risked lives in downed plane, says Zelensky6UK to loan back Ghana’s looted ‘crown jewels’7Add salt to make perfect cup of tea, US scientist says8Patients deleted from surgery queues after ‘error’9Downed Russian plane leaves unanswered questions10Family moves 180 miles for nursery, as demand rises](https://newsinsightplus.com/wp-content/uploads/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/branded_news/13D0/production/_132227050_53450363008_67756bd6d1_k.jpg)
