Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Twelve people perished while several others were critically injured in a road accident along South Sudan\u2019s major highway on Saturday, police spokesperson has confirmed. The road connects the country to the East African region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people believed to be from one family, were travelling in a Toyota Noah vehicle from Juba to Nimule when their vehicle hit by a fuel tanker at Amee Junction,\u201dGen Daniel Justine, National Police spokesperson, told Nation.Africa on Sunday.<\/p>\n

He said that the injured are being treated at Nimule Hospital, Eastern Equatoria State. \u201cMost accident victims are in critical condition,\u201d he added. The Juba-Nimule Highway is narrow and has many bends.<\/p>\n

In 2014, sixty people died when a bus collided head-on with a truck carrying goods from Uganda on the same highway. In May this year, another accident left four people injured.<\/p>\n

Accidents are common along the Nimule-Juba road. Several road users have often attributed the accidents to the absence of speed bumps and potholes. Since its commissioning in 2012, USAID granted funded 192-kilometer road has not seen any major maintenance.<\/p>\n
