TOO BAD, I HOPE THERE WAS NO BEER DRINKING INVOLVED.
What a mysterious mishap with equally mysterious details. Really strange for someone to jump off a crashing car just to be run over by the same vehicle again!
Read the story. The driver is being charged for careless driving. He should be charged with muder and spend the rest of lif life in jail.
reminds me of one incident in the 80s where a funeral procession was travelling from Lusaka to Ndola for burial, and one bus carrying mourners over-turned and two people died…
26 people? What where they doing? that number is quite big to me. The above information is not complete. Please get full info before posting.
