Africa-Press<\/a> – Liberia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span> The National Transit Authority (NTA) has confirmed the death of six people in an accident involving one of its buses on the Monrovia-Ganta highway on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

In a press release, the government\u2019s public transport entity said several other persons sustained varying degrees of injuries.<\/p>\n

The NTA management said the accident occurred at about 12:00 noon around Zeanzue in Bong County on the ever-busy highway. \u201cThe accident involved a bus belonging to the entity with plate number 1538,\u201d NTA management said in a press release.<\/p>\n

The NTA management further stated that the accident involved 68 persons, with six killed and more than nine persons got injured.<\/p>\n

The corpses of the deceased had been deposited at the morgue of Phebe Hospital, while the survivors were receiving treatment at the same hospital, NTA management said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Traffic Division of the Bong County Police Detachment said the cause of the accident could be traced to speed violation on the part of the commercial bus driver.<\/p>\n

The police added that the commercial bus lost control due to excessive speeding and skidded off the road.<\/p>\n

The police said that clearing of obstruction caused by the crash by NTA officials, other sister agencies and residents of Zeanzue had been completed.<\/p>\n

The police stressed the need for caution, saying that all hands must be on deck to ensure that lives were not lost due to carelessness on the road.<\/p>\n

While advising motorists to always obey traffic rules and regulations, the police assured that they would continually be committed to creating a safer motoring environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
