“The death toll is still provisional,” said Jean Mwanuka, in charge of the administrative district of Bunyakiri in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where the accident happened. The accident happened at Bulambika, on the highway linking Bukavu and Kisangani, in the northeast, he said. The accident happened because of the poor condition of the road, said Mwanuka. Deadly road accidents are frequent in DR Congo, where excess speed, overloading and poor vehicle maintenance are also factors. (AFP)(Visited 4,922 times, 1,700 visits today)
