June 25, 2013 – At around 3:10pm yesterday, at a place called Masangbari, within Bankloli Hills, 5 miles to Matotoka, a fairly new ash-coloured 4 runner jeep with registration number AHW 374 skidded off the treacherous road and plunged deep into a valley. \u00a0It somersaulted with all four tyres spinning into the open sky. \u00a0The vehicle was damaged beyond repair whilst the driver and a female passenger lay unconscious and were left to the fate of bewildered onlookers.<\/p>\n
Of the five passengers on board, all sustained serious injuries; from deep cuts to body pains and dislocated joints. \u00a0Frantic calls were made to get a rescue ambulance, to no avail.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, a EGW trailer came by and rescued the victims.<\/p>\n
Jusu Jaka Yawmah, our friendly poet, author, artist, and aspiring physician was on board this jeep travelling from Kono to Makeni and sent in his report whilst suffering a dislocated arm en route to Magburaka Government Hospital.<\/p>\n
As at this time, the driver, Mr Mohamed George, a former lecturer at UNIMAK, and one of the female passengers are yet to gain consciousness.<\/p>\n
It is imperative that the government wakes up to the dangers of the infrastructure of the Matotoka-Kono highway and fixes the problem that could have been five deaths!<\/p>\n
