Yaounde-Douala Highway: 15 dead, another ghastly accident leaves many bewildered

24/10/2017Atleast fifteen people have died and many wounded after a ghastly accident that occured in Sombo late on Monday 23rd October 2017.

The accident involved an interuban transport bus and a trailer.

According to eyewitness accounts, the accident was induced by a palm oil transporting vehicle that had poured out its content on the tar rendering the road slippery.

Moments later, the an oncoming trailer skidded off its track and bombed into a 70 seater interurban transport bus that left Yaounde to Douala.

The casualty was exceptionally high moreso as rescue teams arrived the scene relatively late.

The dozens of injured passengers are receiving treatment at the Edea hospital.

Once again Cameroonians mourn.

The Gendarmerie and officials of the Ministry of Transport and other stakeholders who have been working to scale down accidents remain in total bewilderment.
