The taxi pictured above was crushed by a truck at the Etougebe neighborhood in Yaounde this morning Saturday August 05, 2015.



Thankfully, no lives were lost.
The brakes of the heavy duty truck failed as it was descending a hill. It hurtled the taxi, and mangled it. A car mechanic is also reported to have escaped unhurt after the truck hit the car he was working on.
God be praised that no lives were lost.
Aren't these trucks banned from moving within the towns during the day ?
