LIBERIA: NINE KILLED, SEVERAL INJURED IN ACCIDENT ON RIA ROAD 

Date:

MONROVIA – Seven people are reported dead in a fatal car accident that took place Yesterday at the ELWA-Rehab road on the Robert International Airport Road on Wednesday, March 23, 2023.

Among the dead was a 10th-grade student of the African Dream Academy named Lucky Smart, including a traffic officer of the Liberia National Police, Emmanuel Bowieh who died on the scene.

According to eyewitnesses, student Lucky Smart whose body was unidentified due to severe burns, along with the kehkeh driver, was on his way from school with his older sister, who luckily escaped the accident with minor injuries.

Accordingly, the eyewitnesses said that a white truck, without a license plate, was initially parked at the Rehab Junction intersection on the Robert Highway undergoing repairs.

The truck, which was carrying building materials, took off following the repair and suddenly made a sound, subsequently losing control.

Eyewitnesses said the driver lost control around Krishna Supermarket, instantly hitting motorcycles, tricycles, and vehicles before approaching the two motorcycles carrying four police officers, killing one instantly, then hitting another motorcyclist who also died before crashing into a kehkeh and subsequently catching fire, leading to the death of a student and the kehkeh driver.
