Another bus accident: 20 cheat death

JUST a week after several people perished in a road accident involving a Sabena bus, about 20 passengers who were travelling in a bus christened Airbus cheated death after the bus overturned at Ituangala Village in Sikonge District, Tabora Region yesterday.

The Sikonge District Medical Officer, Mr Samuel Malembeka, said that the hospital received 24 passengers who were in critical condition, saying two were referred to Tabora Regional Hospital.

“Two passengers including one woman whose arm was fractured were referred to Tabora Regional Hospital,” he said.

According to Mr Mtafsiri, who was one of the passengers, the Tabora bound bus overturned after knocking a log left on the road by unknown  people, suspected to be hijackers.
