Four people were seriously injured in the early hours of Tuesday as a result of a car accident that occurred in the municipality of Nzeto, Zaire province.
The accident happened around 2:30 am on national road 100, when a passenger bus from Luanda with 40 passengers crashed into a broken-down truck on the road.
According to the spokesman for the National Police in Zaire, Intendant Luís Bernardo, the accident involving a bus assigned to the company Real Express, occurred on the subsection that connects the villages of Kilombe and Kivungu.
He pointed out speeding, lack of caution and signaling, as well as fatigue as the probable causes of this accident that caused extensive material damage to the environment.
Luís Bernardo asked for more caution from motorists who make the Luanda/Zaire route and vice versa, especially on the Nzeto/Bengo section where accidents often occur at night.
He said that the victims with fractures in the upper and lower limbs were evacuated to the Municipal Hospital of Nzeto.
This
is the fourth road accident due to collision with a fixed obstacle that occurs on national road 100, which connects Nzeto/Bengo in less than two months.
The municipality of Nzeto is 230 km from the city of Mbanza Kongo, capital of Zaire province.
