Several people were rushed to hospital at the Dschang Annex Regional Hospital in the West region for intense medical care.
A speeding vehicle crushed them at the Dschang hill (la Falaise de Dschang) on Friday afternoon 11August 2023, just when the road reportedly blocked by a truck that tumbled, paralyzing circulation for hours was cleared.
Scores of persons had assembled watching how the road was being reopened.
A woman’s arm was shattered with high possibility it will be amputated as a result of the accident.
It was a difficult day for passengers traveling on the national road No. 5 linking Douala in the Littoral region and Bafoussam in the West region.
The Thursday accident at the Mbanga tollgate that claimed at least four lives, the tumbled truck and most especially the very bad state of the entire national road number 5, practically perturbed circulation on Friday August 11.
