On arrival at the scene, it was observed that a green van, registration number MUS 919 YA, laden with crates of eggs was involved in a head-on collision with a truck, registration number unknown. The van was on top speed, resulting in significant damages and injuries to the van and its occupants.<\/p>\n
\u201cFurther investigations at the scene revealed that the van\u2019s excessive speed reportedly led to the accident, which caused substantial damage to the frontal parts of the van and destruction of the crates of egg.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
He said two adult males suffered severe injuries and no fatalities were recorded.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe injured victims received pre-hospital care from the agency\u2019s paramedics and LASAMBUS before being transported to the nearby hospitals for further treatment. The accident vehicle was recovered with the aid of a tow truck and taken to the nearest police station for safekeeping and prevention of any secondary incidents.<\/p>\n
