One witness described the scene, saying, “I saw a trailer plying the newly constructed lane fail to brake and smash over 10 cars, including private and commercial buses. Bodies were scattered across the road, and vehicles plunged into a nearby ditch.”
The witness added, “The army checkpoint at that axis continues to claim lives. Over 25 persons lost their lives instantly, and many were rushed to the hospital.”
