EIGHT people sustained serious injuries after a Chipata-bound Scania Marcopolo bus in which they were travelling careered off Great East Road at Rufunsa on Tuesday.
Lusaka Province commissioner of police Charity Katanga said in an interview on Tuesday that the accident happened after the driver of the bus tried to avoid hitting into a truck, which was slowly descending a hill at a curve.

 

“The injured have been admitted to Chongwe District Hospital,” Ms Katanga said.
An eyewitness, Beauty Phiri, said the driver of the bus failed to stop while trying to avoid colliding with a tow truck, which was removing a broken-down light truck.
