Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Once again, a passenger bus lost its brakes in Maputo city, causing minor injuries to three people who were evacuated to the Maputo Central Hospital.<\/p>\n

Arriving at Avenida Guerra Popular, near the Mandela Market, the Zimpeto-Baixa buslost its brakes and, picking up speed because of the incline, crashed into a motorbike and six other vehicles, some on the move and some parked.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe machimbombo lost its brakes,\u201d the driver said. \u201cI stopped at the Mandela Market to check the brakes and the vehicles started to roll forwards. The brakes were working, but suddenly this happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

One \u2018chapa\u2019 driver, his vehicle stationary at the time, was among those surprised by the crash. \u201cI was sitting and suddenly I heard a bang and my vehicle was carrying passengers, therefore I sent everyone out so there were no injuries,\u201d he related.<\/p>\n

Preliminary data from the Traffic Police suggests a lack of maintenance on the vehicle resulted in the loss of brakes. Traffic Police agent Jose\u0301 Nhantumbo called on cooperative managers to carry out periodic maintenance to avoid accidents.<\/p>\n

The three lightly injured men were assisted at Maputo Central Hospital, and were discharged this Thursday.<\/p>\n

This is the second multi-vehicle road accident that \u2018O Pai\u0301s\u2019 have reported in less than three days in Maputo. Last Tuesday, the capital saw an accident involving eight vehicles that caused 13 injuries.<\/p>\n
