The incident occurred at the mbaso area, where three vehicles were involved in the collision while passengers were making their way from Mansa to Chipili. Among the vehicles were a Toyota Hilux, which carried the solemn coffin, a Vits car, and a Fuso truck.
Sadly, six passengers lost their lives instantly, while numerous others sustained severe injuries. In light of this devastating event, a heartfelt plea was made to the Mansa community, urging them to visit Mansa General Hospital to identify any victims who may have had relatives headed to the funeral.
