A child and three others have this morning survived an accident involving a speeding car and two careless motorcycles.
The accident occurred at a road connecting Kacyiru and Nyarutarama commonly referred to as ‘Gukombanya’ because it is commonly used by trucks and motorcyclists and less travelled by smaller vehicles.
The road is preferred because there is not any traffic congestion hindrance. This has caused most motorists to drive carelessly and mostly resulting into accidents.
IGIHE.com was at the scene as the accident happened. Two motorcyclists were riding on this road towards the same direction. One motorcycle on each side of the road. The cyclists were talking to each other while riding without paying attention to a speeding approaching car.
In just a few seconds, the motorcyclist on the wrong side of the road attempted to switch to the correct side but ended up crashing into the friend’s motorcycle.
The driver of the approaching car successfully avoided crashing the motorcycle but lost control and hit a pole on the road side damaging the car bonnet.
Aboard this car was a child in the backseat who had buckled-up well and was pulled out of the car safe. The car driver was also safe. The child was heading to school
Traffic police arrived on scene ten minutes later too find the driver of the vehicle and the two motorcyclists on the side of the road.
The motor cyclists have been identified as Bizimana Gaspard and Victor Nkurunzia
