Friendship accident claims third life
The deceased, along with seven other persons, were all occupants of minibus, BYY 7440, which was driven by Edwards.
Reports are that the minibus was heading north along the Public Road, at a fast rate of speed when Edwards allegedly overtook a line of traffic.
During the process, the minibus collided with an incoming motorcar, PAD 3102, pushing it further into another vehicle, PXX 5169.
As a result of the collision, the driver lost control and the bus turned turtle several times.
The passengers were flung out of the minibus before it came to a halt on the western parapet of the road.
The injured were all taken to the Diamond Hospital where they were treated.
While some of them were admitted, others were transferred to the GPHC for further medical attention.
As of Monday, five of the injured persons were discharged while the other two remained hospitalised.
Police have obtained CCTV footage which captured the accident.
