I witnessed it. The bus driver was like tryin to overtake, coz he went off lane. The accident happened around 0430 – 0500hrs.
The bus is believed to have cum frm Nakonde bcoz it passed us at Kapiri mposhi around 0130hrs (my driver was dosing and we forced him to have a nap).
Its jst too much. Wat if the govt abolished late nite travelling???? Bcoz drivers also tire and they need to rest! (jst trying to think out loud).
May the souls of the departed rest in peace.

Most drivers sleep while driving. I work in Ndola my family is in Lusaka. I commute twice or thrice a month for five years this time.To correct the situation road blocks on major stretches of the road. ok
