At least some 13 persons have sustained injuries in a road accident that occurred along the Maroua-Bogo road in the Far North region of Cameroon.
They were members of an interministerial convoy that was heading to Kaikai.
One of the cars stopped abruptly causing the shock, several others hit themselves and some of the vehicles flew over a bridge.
