Sun, 22 Dec 2024 Source: Eric Afatsao

A tragic accident occurred early this morning on a major highway, involving a collision between two passenger buses and a large truck. The crash led to significant traffic disruptions and multiple casualties. The incident took place on a key route, which was immediately blocked as emergency responders rushed to the scene.

The cause of the collision remains unclear, but authorities believe that one of the buses may have swerved into the truck’s lane, setting off a chain reaction that involved the second bus. The force of the impact caused severe damage to the vehicles, with debris scattered across the highway, blocking several lanes. As the crash site was cleared, emergency crews worked tirelessly to rescue trapped passengers and provide medical assistance to the injured.

Several ambulances were dispatched to transport the wounded to nearby hospitals, while fire services worked to clear the wreckage and ensure the safety of responders and other travelers. Early reports indicate that while some victims sustained serious injuries, others tragically lost their lives in the crash.

The highway, which serves as a critical route for both local and commercial traffic, was shut down for hours as investigators worked to determine the cause of the crash. The closure resulted in significant traffic congestion, with vehicles being diverted to alternative routes. The incident has raised concerns about road safety, with calls for improved signage and better road conditions to prevent similar tragedies in the future.

Local authorities have launched a full investigation into the crash. Meanwhile, efforts are underway to identify the victims, and families are being offered support during this difficult time. Travelers are advised to remain cautious on nearby roads.
