Fatal road traffic accidents remain major concern

The excitement, which can easily be characterised as craziness leaves a lot to be desired. On Sunday morning, we woke up to the news that a 43-year-old woman had died on the spot following an accident that occurred by Partial traffic lights in the early hours. The police estimated that the accident occurred at 12:55am.
