Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Two dead and 26 people seriously and slightly injured is the preliminary balance of a road accident that occurred on Sunday (16-07) afternoon in Messica administrative post, Manica district, in central Mozambique.<\/p>\n

The collision of vehicles occurred on National Road Number Number Six (EN6). Of those injured, eight are said to be serious and 18 light.<\/p>\n

The spokesman for the Police the Republic of Mozambique (PRM) in Manica, Mateus Mindu\u0301 said yesterday in Chimoio that the accident involved two passenger transport vehicles travelling in opposite directions.<\/p>\n

\u201cA tire on one of the vehicles burst, and, while attempting to stop, the driver lost control and crashed into another vehicle travelling in the opposite direction. One passenger died at the scene and eight were seriously injured. The second death occurred at the hospital the victims were taken to,\u201d Mindu\u0301 said.<\/p>\n

The source said that excessive speed and mechanical deficiencies were the cause of the accident, which also resulted in substantial material damage.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to fatalities, there was substantial material damage. The police are still on the ground assessing the level of losses following this accident. We promise updates, but currently these are the figures we have,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

One of the witnesses who spoke to AIM by phone said that the number of fatalities may have been more, judging by the condition of the vehicles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI live here in Messica. The number of people who lost their lives could have been much higher. Both vehicles were completely destroyed. Even now \u2013 it is 6:00 p.m. \u2013 we are hearing that one more person has just lost his life,\u201d Ce\u0301lia Bazima related.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened this afternoon is very regrettable. We are in mourning in Messica. There are also many injured people who have been taken to health facilities nearer the accident site, where they are receiving medical care,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the PRM in Manica province is calling on motorists to respect the rules of the road so as to avoid more bloodshed.<\/p>\n
