According to the DCSSL, the LDV collided with the sedan, overturned several times on the side of the road. The cause of the crash is not known at this stage. Investigations are still continuing.
“Motorists must be on high alert at all times when they are on the road. When visibility is restricted, drivers must reduce speed. Those who are driving long distances should rest sufficiently along the way to avoid crashes brought on by fatigue,” said MEC Jackie Macie.
