Serule Police Station commander, Superintendent Lesego Kgosiemang, said the accident occurred at around 8:40am along the Phikwe–Francistown route.

Kgosiemang explained that the Sprinter was travelling from Phikwe to Francistown carrying 24 passengers. “The Sprinter was following a horse and trailer truck, and the driver attempted to overtake. However, it appears he did not have enough clearance as another horse and trailer truck was approaching from the opposite direction. The driver swerved to the outer lane, lost control of the vehicle, and it overturned,” he said.
