Four people, including a Prime Television head driver, escaped death following a chain-collision road traffic accident involving four vehicles.
The accident happened today at around 10:30 hours along the Great North Road at SOS Roundabout in Lusaka.
Zambia Police Service Public Relations Officer Godfrey Chilabi says the vehicles involved were a Toyota Hilux, Toyota Crown, Hino Dutro and a Toyota Wish driven by Prime Television driver Gustaffson Njobvu.
Mr. Chilabi explains that the accident happened when a Toyota Hilux driven by 24-year-old Peter Mutale collided with the rear of a Toyota Crown driven by 41-year-old Arthur Teleshi.
He says the impact caused the Hilux to subsequently collide with a Hino Dutro, while the Toyota Crown veered into the opposite lane and crashed into the Toyota Wish.
Mr. Chilabi states that preliminary investigations indicate that the driver of the Toyota Hilux failed to maintain a safe following distance, resulting in the chain collision.
He adds that Peter Mutale and Arthur Teleshi sustained minor injuries and were treated and later discharged from hospital.
