According to a Twitter post shared by @sikaofficial, this accident occurred when a bus, swerving to evade numerous treacherous potholes on the severely deteriorated road, collided with a commercial van.

According to eyewitnesses at the scene, the bus was navigating the challenging road when the driver swerved to avoid a particularly menacing pothole.

In the process, the bus collided head-on with an oncoming commercial van, resulting in this catastrophic loss of life.
