An accident has claimed the lives of three people including a pregnant woman with her unborn baby, an eyewitness account stated.
The trio reportedly died in the early hours of Tuesday, following a collision between a Lorry and a taxi in Munyagen village, in the Jokadou constituency in the North Bank Region.
“It all started in Jokadou, in a village called Kerr Ali, when a pregnant woman on labour was being rushed to the hospital in Kuntaya by a taxi driver and 3 others including the pregnant woman. As they were on the road driving to the hospital, they met a Lorry in Munyagen, in Jokadu.
“The Lorry was loaded with goods of different varieties, coming from the junction towards the main Farafenni-Barra highway where it collided with the Taxi. They knocked each other and as a result, the taxi driver, pregnant woman with her unborn child and another woman escorting the pregnant woman, all died. The only survivor was an old woman, who is currently in a critical condition and he was rushed to Banjul for proper healthcare,” an eyewitness told Kerr Fatou on Wednesday.
