The fatal accident took place along the Logpom / Logbesu road in Douala, on Saturday September 05, 2015.
The truck pictured above was driving uphill, when one of its tyres got into a pothole. An eyewitness, Serge Kemdou, a bike rider who was behind the truck, says the container it was carrying instantly fell off and crushed a pickup which was descending the hill in the opposite direction. Inside the pickup, were a man and his wife, who got married just nine months ago, in December 2014. 
The man, whose only name was gotten as Simplice, was a Yaounde-based business man,mwho recently had rented a bigger apartment in Douala, to join his wife who lived there.
What a tragedy!
