The truck driver had miscalculated the distance as he was
trying to overtake the vehicles in front and further went ahead to hit another
minibus killing 8 people at spot. Zambia's Road Transport and Safety Agency
(RTSA) said it was caused by the driver of the truck who had misjudged the
distance when overtaking.
Another accident involving a Dangote truck was also recorded
last night on Great North road, and 3 people sustained serious injuries and are
in critical condition with the driver being unconscious.
