Two people have died while more than 62 passengers have sustained serious injuries after a Lusaka bound passenger Bus overturned in Kapiri Mposhi along the Great North Road.
The accident happened around 15:30 hours today after a Scorpion Bus Registration Number AIC 1321 travelling from Solwezi to Lusaka overturned at Kashikishi area as the driver tried to overtake another vehicle.
Kapiri Mposhi District Police Commanding Officer, Brighson Mwape has confirmed the accident to ZANIS.
Mr Mwape said the driver of the bus lost control and the bus overturned on the nearside and glided on its roof for about 30 meters trapping passengers underneath the wreckage.
A combined team of Health, Fire Brigade and Zambia Police officers had a tough time to evacuate the bodies and survivors from the wreckage to Kapiri Mposhi District Hospital.
Mr Mwape could not identify the deceased and the driver of the vehicle by press time
Rip. It’s TRUE when they say flying is the safest mode of transport.
I now understand, your posts are meant to piss us off and decampaign the PF, guess what? Its working.
MTSRIP my heartfelt condolences to the families and I wish a quick recovery to the survivors. Kaizar Zulu it’s not every one can fly look at our economy even if economy can be good not every single person will fly even locally need to fly? Even aeroplane crushes think wisely mbuzi iwe
Ba LT naimwe there is no place called Kashikishi between Kabwe and Kapiri Mposhi.

@@Kaizar Zulu uli Chipuubaaaa sana iwe. Is flying your mode of transport where ever you head to. Very foooooolish and animal like comment. There was a plane crash around Iran recently where by everyone was killed. I am wondering how God can decide to take our lives of normal Citizens and leave yours. People like you do not deserve to live at all, as it is a waste of oxygen. Tawa kwata amano iwe Chikaaalaaaa. My God the lord remove you from the interface of the earth and accommodate you underground
These Busses should have a speed limit of 80 km/hour like in many other countries. They carry a lot of passengers for Gods sake
@Kaizar Zulu You think you live forever. There is a life span for every living creature, mind you. We chipuuubaaa we
