Four people were killed in a road
accident Saturday in southwestern Cameroon, according to local authorities.
Witnesses said the accident
happened when a private car collided head-on with a motorcycle and another
vehicle.
“The driver was driving very
fast and apparently lost track. His car collided with a motorcycle and another
oncoming vehicle. The motorcyclist, two passengers and the driver of the
private car died on the spot,” Gilles Mulang who witnessed the accident
told Xinhua.
Other injured passengers were
immediately rushed to hospital to receive medical attention, according to
officials.
On Friday, Cameroon’s Minister of
Transport Jean Ernest Massena Ngalle Bibehe made public a list of 13 travel
companies that violated Highway Code in 2018 and warned that they would be
sanctioned if they didn’t “improve on quality.”
Last year, Cameroon’s Ministry of
Transport estimated that at least 1,200 people died in road accidents each year
in the country.
