The truck driver whose name we got as Linus Mbeghansi is said to have died on the spot while two other occupants survived after jumping out of the vehicle as it missed direction.

Eyewitness accounts say the accident was caused by brake failure.

He continued that, “the other two people noticed and jumped out of the truck before it hit an iron and tumbled and almost fell into a stream.”
