According to witnesses cited by Hespress, a pick-up truck carrying 24 people from Berrechid to the commune of Laghnimyine overturned on a regional road. The passengers were returning from a wedding celebrated in Berrechid.

Two people died on the spot, while a child succumbed to her injuries during her transfer to the hospital. Three other victims then died at the hospital.
