Accidents On "Highway OF Death"

The ever growing carnage on the road now not only calls for the highway's thousands of drivers' attention but also that of other players such as the Department of Roads, and that of Road Transport and Safety. The latest casualties are two men whose mangled heavy-duty truck collided with a trailer from another truck Saturday morning. The men who were critically injured, were heading west in their truck while the other was heading east.

"It appears there was a smaller vehicle overtaking and the driver of the east-bound truck applied his brakes to avoid running over the sedan and also to avoid a head on collision between the sedan and the oncoming heavy-duty truck, but since it was raining its trailer wheels must have skidded resulting in the trailer swerving into the other truck's lane" said an eye witness.
