travelling to Maseru, bringing the number of people on board to five. Assistant Superintendent Ntobane said the car lost control over the curve at Ha-Phahla and<\/p>\n

while landing it the passenger was thrown out of the car resulting in her death. The LCS PRO said the driver also died at the scene; two officers sustained injuries and were treated<\/p>\n

at the nearby clinic while one officer was admitted at the hospital in Roma. He said their car is written off. \u201cWe are in despair,\u201d he said ruling out the possibility of negligence driving.<\/p>\n
