ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast—A tanker truck crashed into a bus in northern Ivory Coast, killing 13 people and injuring 44, the Transportation Ministry and local media said Saturday.

The bus and the truck crashed Friday night on the highway between Bouake and Korhogo, two large cities in the country’s north. The road’s width had been narrowed by a freight truck parked without indicators, Police Secours, a platform monitoring deadly accidents in the country, wrote.
