He claims that the preliminary inquiry found that weariness and the overcrowding of both cargo and people were the crash’s causes.
“Further investigation of the incident shows that 73 people were involved in the crash, 59 of them sustained injuries, and sadly, four of them lost their lives,” Nadabo stated.
He claimed that the injured had been sent to the Kakuri-based St. Gerard and AP Smart Hospitals.
“As you all know, the Yuletide season is the most traveled period of the year, thus the frequent road traffic crashes experienced,” Nadabo said in elaborating on the FRSC’s continued urge for drivers to abide by all traffic laws.
He assured the public that every effort was being made by the corps to reduce the risk of collisions and preserve lives and property.
