At the time, Mr. Muyunda Isaac, 32, of Kamwala South, was operating a Howo truck horse with the trailer number BAC 9540 and the registration number AIC 805.
The truck was heavily damaged, and there was also a mystery woman driving an unregistered Mercedes Benz from a south-to-north direction from an unidentified location.
Sadly, she passed away from her wounds at the scene of the collision.
The Mercedes Benz was carrying Mr. Rainford Kalaba, a 38-year-old resident of Mufurira, Copperbelt Province.
He appeared to have internal injuries, and he was sent right away to UTH so that more care could be given.

We are sending our sympathies and best wishes to the families impacted by this unfortunate event.
implore everyone who uses the roads to carefully follow traffic safety laws in order to stop such fatalities.
