Iholi village elder, Jacob Ilolo is quoted as saying, “The matatu rammed into the culvert and rolled three times. A woman who was at the co-driver’s seat died instantly while the driver was unconscious. We rushed to the scene and rescued them from the wreckage.”
Another witness, Caroline Musanga also said, “I heard a loud bang and when I came out of the house to see what was happening, I saw the matatu flying in the air before landing in my compound. I thank God the kids were not outside as they would have been injured.”
One survivor, Moses Makhanu narrated that the driver was caressing the deceased woman and driving recklessly despite several warnings.
He said “The driver appeared drunk. You could hear him telling the lady how he loves her and wanted to marry her. When the vehicle got to the accident scene, he attempted to kiss the woman by force.”
