At least twenty-four people lost their lives on Saturday, in a bus carrying some passengers of Christian faith heading for a religious programme in Southern Zambia.
The passenger bus according to a police source, rammed into a truck, leaving 12 persons seriously injured, including the driver.
“The deceased have… been identified as 23 female adults and one male adult, while those injured are eight males and four females,” police spokesman Danny Mwale said in a statement.
Fatal accidents in the country have been linked to poor state of roads, in addition to reckless driving.
