She blamed the crash on wrongful overtaking, which she said led to head-on collision.

She explained further that, “the gas is spilling out seriously, making the rescue operations difficult.”

“The injured victims were taken to Hospital for medical attention. The fire service was contacted immediately. The scene of the crash has been cordoned off to avert a secondary crash.

“FRSC operatives are fully on ground managing the situation and making efforts to remove the trapped bodies.

“Motorists are advised to drive cautiously, remain calm and cooperate with FRSC personnel pending when the situation is put to order,” the FRSC said.
