One person has died and four others have been seriously injured after a goods truck they were travelling on overturned yesterday at Kanduli in Nkhata Bay district.

Nkhata Bay Police Traffic Officer Jimmy Kanzangaza identified the vehicle as a Hino truck, registration number NB 5954, which was carrying 14 passengers on top of its cargo.

“Following the accident, one person died, four were seriously injured and have been admitted to the district hospital, while the others sustained minor injuries,” Kanzangaza said.

The police officer used the incident to warn small-scale traders against using goods vehicles as passenger transport. He urged business operators to arrange proper transportation with truck owners instead of risking their lives by riding on top of goods.
