Six (6) people including the driver were confirmed dead on the spot when a Commuter Omni-bus (Kombi) they were travelling in -burst its rear tyre and rolled several times before it landed by its roof.
More than 10 survivors including a Police Constable- whose left arm was viciously amputated, were badly injured and were taken to a nearby rural health centre – Kondo Clinic.

The accident occurred Thursday afternoon at around 12:30pm along the Checheche – Tanganda road near Middle Sabi. The road is tarred but just like all other roads country wide. It is littered with numerous making driving very difficult. This coupled with a scotching sun and blistering heat being experienced in this part of the country, could have contributed much to the tyre burst.
We also heard that the driver was speeding and most of these ex-Japanese cars are known for being poorly serviced.
