May their souls rest in peace
But people should be mindful on how they gather round a tanker after an accident. There's every tendency that an explosion could occur after some minutes due to overheating in the afternoon sun and also with the vehicle coming to an abrupt halt due the the accident
Helping those in distress is encourageable but safety precautions should be observed

Again, May Their Souls Rest In Peace

sad

[color=royalblue] Corruption, incompetency and mediocrity will eventually finish this country off.

Most of this trucks drag goods that are way more than their ton capacity.

A truck rated as 15 ton will be dragging a load that's obviously higher than what it's designed for. In the end, brakes won't work when called upon suddenly

FRSC and VIO never inspect these trucks. But if you carry your sweet car with a bad parking light, dem go rush you like pizza.

They should change the name of that bridge

The gods are really on the case of that bridge.


Life wasted just because they want to go find daily bread.
Rest in peace
