The crash occurred in the area known as Mu Nkoto when a minibus reportedly suffered brake failure, colliding with a Toyota Land Cruiser V8, which in turn hit a Howo dump truck. All vehicles except the truck ended up off the road.<\/p>\n

The injured were rushed to various health facilities, including Remera-Rukoma, Nyarugenge, CHUK, and Kacyiru hospitals, while the deceased was taken to Remera-Rukoma Hospital, CIP Hassan Kamanzi, spokesperson of Rwanda National Police in Southern Province, told The New Times.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe extend our sincere condolences to the family of the deceased,\u201d he said, adding that investigations into the cause of the accident are ongoing.<\/p>\n
