The incident took place Friday, September 4, 2020, in the evening in Monrovia Jallah town, the capital city of Liberia.
“In a tragic road accident that took place here at Jallah town, driver injured badly after his over-speeding bus overturned,” a senior police official posted in Jallah town said.

Following the accident, locals and police teams rushed to the spot and took the injured driver to the Hospital.
The police have registered a case and ordered investigations to ascertain the cause behind the accident.
Deadly road accidents are common in Liberia, often caused by overloading, bad condition of roads, and reckless driving. The need to go through driving school is a must for many drivers. Citizens need education about the road and how to navigate the main roads. However, many drivers seem to skip driving school and given an undeserved license that eventually leads them to make unnecessary accidents in the streets
