Lorry and coach crash in Morocco, killing 10

RABAT, Mar 10 (Reuters) Ten people were killed and 21 injured in southern Morocco today when a lorry drove into oncoming traffic and was involved in a collision with a coach.

The truck's driver fled the scene but police caught him and held him for questioning after finding he had been drinking, the official news agency MAP reported, citing the Marrakesh state prosecutor.

Morocco launched a road safety campaign two years ago after it was estimated that around 10 people died every day in road accidents.
