A-35-year-old man of Chiparamba in Kasenengwa district has sustained serious injuries after being hit by a Zambia Police Service vehicle. The man was attempting to cross the famous Umodzi highway in Chipata district. The incident happened at 13:20 hours on Saturday Market Zebra crossing.
Eastern Province Police Commissioner Lackson Sakala confirmed the incident and identified the victim as Lackson Phiri. Mr. Sakala said Phiri is currently receiving medical attention at Chipata central hospital.
He said Phiri was hit by a Toyota Landcruiser registration number ZP2001B driven by Patrick Mulenga, aged 39 of New Police camp in Chipata. Mr. Sakala said the victim sustained suspected fractures on both legs, a cut on the head and a swollen forehead.
He explained that the accident happened when the motor vehicle in question was over-taking another vehicle and in the process hit into Phiri, who was on the pedestrian crossing and moving from North to South direction.
Mr. Sakala said the vehicle in question was carrying 10 suspects while moving from West to the East. The Eastern Province Police Commissioner stated that the vehicle had no damages.
If the vehicle is carrying suspects please use the one with a sirens so it can alarm the public and notify them of it’s presence, wishing Mr luckson phiri quick recovery
Arrest the police driver naimwe, dangerous driving, causing grievous body injuries, overtaking at a zebra crossing. Who said that the police will knock down and kill anyone on the road if they are carrying suspects? Undee which law? Too much abuse of our roads by law enforcement officers and politicians, even ministers and armed services officers want to enjoy motorcades and police sweepers which they are not entitled to.
Fuc.kin’ lock him up!! If not, lock up the police commissioner instead, I say!!!
Lock up this bastard, beat him and then fire him and all the others of these cowboys….
…..Or else we will lock them up when our Trib.al Hacks comes to power in 2043.
…I am serious about locking up, but not so sure about coming to power in 2043, maybe 2063 as the boy needs to complete his jabs and mature up.
Lock the driver up for failing to observe road rules, but since he is PFoools police, kaya
Who cared about the car? Arrest the careless officer!
Overtaking on a pedestrian crossing!!!!!!?? Perfect time to cage the reckless cop!

Please law z law.so let the law take its course because one is above the law.i urge u commissioner not to act too smart coz the law will also visit u once u are out of that office.
I was just interested with the part that says the Police driver is in custody I am not seeing it in the article. in that case, then what is required in this case is to hunt the driver and effect a citizens arrest now
“The Eastern Province Police Commissioner stated that the vehicle had no damages”
Who cares about the vehicle? Was this supposed to be mentioned?
Just one question. Did this car not have brakes?
The driver must have been drunk as usual
I hope the poor man will be compensated by Government
Something must be done. These are the same people that treat others like animals when they are in their uniforms… Ati boma ni boma, ifyabupuba????????????
