Asi truck driver hana kuita defensive driving hereEyewitnesses at the scene told local media that the Toyota Quantum appeared to lose its brakes before ploughing into the back of a heavily loaded flatbed truck carrying construction materials. The impact pushed the minibus under the truck’s trailer while a second truck travelling behind jackknifed in an attempt to stop.
Pictures from the scene show the Quantum wedged underneath the flatbed, while a red articulated truck bearing “Mark Logistics” branding sits directly behind. Debris and personal belongings are strewn across the roadside as bystanders and rescue workers scramble to assist.
Emergency services have yet to release official casualty figures, but witnesses fear multiple injuries or fatalities given the severity of the wreck. Traffic on the route has been brought to a standstill as police and medics work to clear the crash site.
Authorities say preliminary reports point to brake failure on the Toyota Quantum as the likely cause of the collision. Investigations are ongoing.
