Tunis: Two people were killed and 10 others injured when a heavy goods vehicle hit a cafe terrace in the southwest of the capital Tunis, Tunisian national radio station reported on Thursday.
"The accident occurred ... when a heavy goods vehicle drove into a terrace of a cafe located in El Ouardia zone," the radio station quoted Mounir Ryebi, a regional director of civil protection in Tunis, as saying.
"Driving at high speed down a descent, the driver of the heavy goods vehicle hit parked cars before hitting a group of civilians in a cafe terrace," Ryebi said, Xinhua news agency reported.
