One person has died in a road accident along Lusaka/ Livingstone road when the vehicle he was in collided with a Zezed Marcopolo bus after Kafue river.
Sinazongwe District Council Chief Administrative Officer Artfello Siachinga who was a passenger on the Marcopolo bus from Lusaka to Maamba said the driver of the Toyota corolla died on the spot while the other passenger was rushed to Mazabuka Hospital.
Mr. Siachinga told ZANIS in Sinazongwe that all the people in the bus were safe except one woman who was rushed to the hospital for observation.
He said the window screen for the Marcopolo bus was severely damaged after it swerved off the road where it stopped after hitting into a tree.
Mr. Siachinga disclosed that driver for the Toyota Corolla lost control and rammed into the Marcopolo.
The Marcopolo bus belongs to Mrs Zedzed in Maamba Township.
By Press time all the people in the bus were still at the accident scene.
When are we going to see some activity on the road between Livingstone and Zimba. Its a nightmare driving through this road. Is there someone with information out there or are we waiting for major incidents before we start doing some work.
Let whoever is resposible be proactive and prevent unnecessary incidents.
Where are the responsible officials?
They are waiting for one of the ministers to die that is when they will work on the road. A lot has been said about the road and not only some ministers and MPs drive on the same bad road with ditches, but also big shorts such as the vice president. Hena balo banyina meso akubona kuti mugwagwa uyandika kubamba bantu mamano kufwa akulicisa.
Where precisely was the reported accident? I am reading about Kafue river which is near Kafue town and then Mazabuka Hospital that is about 80 km from Kafue Town while Lusaka is nearer to kafue Town at about 45 (or so) km.
Condolences to the family of the MAN who died. To his family, please, look up to the good Lord for comfort in these difficult times.
