The number of dead has been placed at 5, with more bodies still feared missing in the muddy and algae-infested River Kondi, in PK8, Douala.
Eye witness accounts say the driver of the transport bus, popularly known as "Cargo", was heading to PK8 from Ndokoti, with more than 20 passengers on board. The vehicle without a number plate, was visibly overloaded. The driver attempted to overtake another vehicle and lost control of his bus. The result was a dive into the dark and muddy river. Thanks to the joint of firefighters and local inhabitants, 16 persons were rescued. It is difficult to determine how many persons in all, were involved in the accident, you know how these buses are often overloaded.

This is so sad! Most accidents are due to reckless driving, especially over speeding. The government should be improve on their strategies to solve this problem of rampant accidents. The end of year is approaching and it may be worst. God forbid!
