A bullion van driver made a deadly mistake that killed five people on a busy road in Adanwomase. The crash happened Wednesday when the security vehicle tried to pass another car while climbing a steep hill. The van driver picked the worst possible moment and smashed straight into a Kia truck coming the other way. Two police officers riding shotgun in the bullion van died alongside three other victims. The head-on collision was brutal and nobody survived the impact.
Eyewitness Bright Ntem watched the whole thing unfold and says the van driver was being reckless. The security vehicle was struggling up the hill when the driver decided to overtake another car. The maneuver went horribly wrong when the van crashed directly into the oncoming truck. Emergency crews raced to the scene but could only recover the bodies and clear the wreckage. Both vehicles were completely destroyed by the massive force of the crash.
Police detectives have started a full investigation to figure out exactly what went wrong. They want to know if the bullion van crew broke any safety rules before the fatal crash. The names of the dead people have not been released to their families yet. Local residents are devastated by the tragedy and demand tougher road safety enforcement. Many people worry that drivers of security vehicles take dangerous risks while transporting valuable cargo around the country.
