What happens next
Police normally publish a confirmed casualty count within 24 to 48 hours once the injured are counted and victims identified. A crash investigation follows: vehicle condition, speed, driver hours and road condition. Where a commercial vehicle is involved, the operator's licence and maintenance records are examined, and families of victims are usually entitled to compensation under the country's motor insurance or accident-compensation rules. We will update this page as new reports surface; the original outlet will carry the confirmed figures first.
