The accident occurred on Monday evening when two commercial tricycles, popularly known as Keke Napep, collided.

He stated that the incident happened at about 5 p.m., and the impact of the collision left one passenger dead at the scene, while three other occupants sustained varying degrees of injuries.

The injured victims were immediately evacuated by sympathisers and emergency responders to a nearby hospital for treatment.
