Confirmed Ntcheu head-on collision death toll at 13
At least 13 people are confirmed to have been killed while several others have sustained serious injuries following a car fatality in Ntcheu district on Friday.
Ntcheu police publicist, Hastings Chigaru, said the head-on crash which involved a Toyota Hiace minibus registration number DZ 7042 and a bus belonging to Tam-Tam Bus company registration number CP 7920, occurred at Mlanda Trading Center in the district.
“The minibus was coming from Dedza heading to Ntcheu and upon arrival at Mlanda trading center due to reasons yet to be established it collided with the Tam-Tam bus which was coming from Ntcheu,” said Chigaru.
He added: “With the impact, 7 men and 6 women in which one of them is a minibus driver were pronounced dead upon arrival at Dedza district hospital where the injured passages are receiving treatment.”
Chigaru said police is still investigating the matter for more details.
driving on Malawi roads is like a war against the other motorists. the mare overtaking no signals are indicated and when one is doung so, the other speeds up again so you see both cars like competing both vrooming at 80mph. Sad.
speed limit is never followed by many. I have seen drivers flashing on to the on coming car warning there is traffic police around. Shame shame shame.
from Lilongwe to Bt may be only 3 speed limit alert.
Thanks
These big buses when driving at night they over speed. They also have this bad habit of driving with full beam on they never dip their lights blinding on coming vehicles which most likely was the cause of this accident. My condolences for those who have lost loved ones may they RIP
