In our prospective study, 168 adolescents exposed directly or indirectly to the same traumatic event—a fatal school bus accident—in which seven students were killed instantly, were assessed for post-traumatic stress, depression and grief symptoms at 2- and 18-months post-accident. Prevalence rates of likely PTSD and depression were noted across all types of physical proximity exposure: 77.6% and 48.1% respectively in the indirectly exposed group, 79.4% and 47.1% respectively in the directly in-the-area exposed group, and 77.8% and 42.1% respectively in the directly in-bus exposed group. One-fifth experienced high and unremitting levels of grief symptoms over time (“persistent grief”); 17% with initially high levels of grief symptoms showed a decrease at 18 months but were still within the low medium range (“towards recovery”); 39% with initially medium/high grief symptoms reported low levels of grief at the follow-up (“recovery”); and 23% of the participants experienced grief symptoms that remained persistently low (“resilient”). The absence of both PTSD and depression at 18 months predicted adjustment to loss, whereas the absence of depression at 18 months predicted a recovering course of grief. The findings highlight the impact of high levels of post-traumatic stress and depression symptoms on the long-term persistent grief outcome.

Abstract Objective : Although public transport is not the highest contributor to road crashes in Benin, the morbidity and mortality associated with such accidents are very high. The work aimed to analyze a road crash involving an intercity bus that occurred on February 23, 2019 in Benin. Results : Mortality rate was 21.2%. The median age of patients admitted to the hospital was 36 years (27-45). The primary areas affected by the accident were the cephalic pole (51%) and more than 20% had a high injury severity score. The main risk factor contributing to the accident was speeding. Wearing a seatbelt was a factor found to impact the severity of the injuries endured. In order to implement intervention aimed at prevention, there needs to be sufficient research to identify the most pressing risk factors involved in accidents occurring on public transportation.
