Three people have died while eleven others sustained injuries in a road accident that occurred at Malomo in Ntchisi District.
Ntchisi Police Public Relations Officer Sergeant Salome Zgambo confirmed the accident, saying it happened in the Nkhotakota Protected Forest area at a place called Mtayamphasa along the Nkhotakota–Kasungu M18 Road.
According to Zgambo, the victims were traveling in a Toyota Sienta driven by Alex Chinthona, 29, who was heading from Malomo towards Nkhotakota with 11 passengers on board.
“Upon reaching a slippery section of the road, the driver lost control of the vehicle due to speeding, causing it to overturn and get extensively damaged,” said Zgambo.
She added that three passengers were pronounced dead upon arrival at Malomo Health Centre, while the driver and five others were referred to Ntchisi District Hospital for further medical treatment. The remaining three passengers with minor injuries are receiving care at Malomo Health Centre.
Police have since cautioned motorists to observe speed limits and ensure their vehicles are roadworthy at all times to prevent similar accidents.
