We never had this many accidents under the able leadership of pf. The new dark government is cursed
Both the state of the roads and the bad driving habits are a serious threat to human lives in Zambia.
So many accidents have been caused due to drivers avoiding potholes then heading headon into other vehicles. Aso parking within the road by trucks on busy highways is a common cause of serious traffic accidents, over speeding and drivers failing to pull back when their vehicle is being overtaken also leads to head on collisions with vehicles from the opposite direction, drunkeness from pedestrians, drivers and cyclists is another cause.
The depression that is at Nangwena Bridge that triggered the accident has now been worked on by RDA. Countless people have time and again reminded RDA to rectify the road defect but has fallen on deaf ears until 3 lives have been lost. RDA should learn a lesson from these 3 deaths that life is irreplaceable and when concerned motorists bring something to your attention, escalate the matter. Be proactive rather than being reactive.
I think legal action must be taken against RDA and those found wanting held to account in courts of law for negligence. This is the only way we will have change otherwise people will continue to perish on the roads due to negligence on the side of RDA, something as simple as a pot hole could end the life of a driver and his passengers.
Tragic and uñfortunate accident, stop sacrifice altar.
