A tragic road accident occurred yesterday at 5:00 am in Bafoussam, near the College Tankou, resulting in the unfortunate death of the driver and causing injuries to three passengers. Local authorities have reported that a car collided head-on with a parked truck, with suspicion that the driver was under the influence of alcohol.
Pierre Nguemegne, an eyewitness in Bafoussam, described the impact as significant and lamented the loss of the driver and the injuries sustained by the three passengers, who were promptly taken to the regional hospital for medical care.
As the investigation into the accident continues, early indications point to the driver losing control and veering into the lane of the parked truck. The exact details surrounding the incident are still under examination. Nguemegne highlighted the risks associated with driving while impaired and called on the community to prioritize safe driving habits.
“This serves as a powerful reminder of the tragic outcomes that result from driving under the influence,” he stated firmly. “It is crucial for individuals to refrain from drinking alcohol before operating a vehicle.” It is important to consider the potential consequences for both yourself and others on the road.
The authorities are currently in the process of notifying the families of the victims, although their identities have not been disclosed at this time. As the investigation continues, the community is deeply saddened by the loss of life and hopes for a speedy recovery of the injured passengers. This tragic incident is a stark reminder of the need for responsible driving and the devastating impact of driving under the influence on individuals, families, and communities.
Accidents on Cameroonian roads have been one of the highest causes of death, with the nature of the roads and bad driving largely to blame.
