Guinean Soccer Club Bus Crash Leaves Three Dead

CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) – Two players and a driver are dead after a top-flight Guinea soccer club's team bus crashed into a stationary truck late at night on the journey back from a game.

The club, Wakriya AC, said new signing Alfred Kargbo died at the scene of the crash on Monday night. Midfielder Aboubacar Camara and bus driver N'Fa Laye died in the hospital on Tuesday after being taken there in critical condition.

Issiaga Camara, a defender for the Guinea under-17 national team, was also in critical condition but has improved, Wakriya said. He played at the under-17 World Cup in 2017.
