Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Residents of electoral district #6 in Paynesville, Montserrado county were subdued by grief Wednesday, 29 March as they memorialize the recent death of seven (7) of their colleagues, some of them, school children in a tragic motor accident.<\/p>\n

District# 6 Representative, Rev. Samuel Reeves Enders, who joined residents in a memorial service, broke down in tears, as he memorialized the victims that suffered a gruesome death when a truck rammed into a tricycle they were riding in and burst into flames in the ELWA community Paynesville.<\/p>\n

The tragedy happened late Monday, March 20. The speeding Renault truck, belonging to UNIDO of One UN House, Pan African Plaza, lost control and collided with 13 moving objects, including 5 cars, 5 tricycles, and 3 motorcycles. One of the tricycles stuck under the truck and gutted by fire, leading both to burn, Police report said.<\/p>\n

The victims included a 10th-grade student of the African Dream Academy in Paynesville Lucky Smart, a tricycle taxi (Keke) rider Elijah Jallah, an officer of the Liberia National Police (LNP) Emmanuel Gbowee, a motorcyclist Michael S. Doe, and others yet to be identified. However, Student Victoria Sackie of the African Dream Academy survived.<\/p>\n

The memorial was attended by hundreds of grieving residents, among them parents, relatives, and friends, who paid tributes.<\/p>\n

A female resident, Kebbeh Lama, in tears said it was disheartening to see such an accident, as she consoled bereaved families.<\/p>\n

Students of the African Dream Academy, trooped in huge number to remember their falling colleague, Lucky Smart.<\/p>\n

Short of words, the elder sister of the victim, Student Victoria Sackie, who was pushed out of the tricycle taxi by her late sister as a way of saving her life, also broke down in tears.<\/p>\n

She described the late Student Lucky Smart as someone who was very keen on her studies, diligent, and obedient.<\/p>\n

In his tribute, Rep. Enders, who before handling the microphone to speak, broke down in tears, said it was so sad, describing the tragedy as a shock and a memorable lost that will never be forgotten.<\/p>\n

He said the memorial organized by the African Dream Academy and the entire district was a way of remembering those who lost their lives.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, since the casualty, the Liberia National Police (LNP) has charged the vehicle operator identified as Sam Morris with reckless driving, resulting in deaths, injuries, and property damage. <\/b><\/p>\n
