Runaway lorry kills five bodaboda riders in Dodoma crash

A truck with busted brakes plowed into a group of motorcycle taxi drivers chilling on the roadside near the University of Dodoma, and five bodaboda riders got killed, while one person ended up in the hospital. The driver of vehicle T 824 EKS bounced right after smashing into the group before hitting a wall, and cops are still looking for them. The victims were Ishad Ramadhani Jaa at 25, Hafidhi Ismail Selemani at 30, Adam Juma at 27, Ijumaa Ndafu at 27, and Michael Mkande at 26.

Regional Police Commander Galus Hyera mentioned the sharp corner makes that stretch super dangerous for accidents, and the spot stays packed because tons of people run businesses along the road. Dodoma District Commissioner Jabir Shekimweri confirmed that this exact location has seen crashes before, basically making it a known hazard zone.
