Most crashes happen because drivers speed excessively on this busy route. Traffic converges heavily from multiple directions, including the coast, Omaruru, and the Trans-Zambezi corridor. Lutombi noted the substantial traffic volume creates dangerous conditions. He stated clearly that nothing seemed wrong with the actual road construction or design.
