Transport and Logistics Minister FRANK TAYALI says the accident that claimed 21 lives in Nsama district is attributed to overloading and failure by the driver to take full control of the vehicle.

Mr. TAYALI says preliminary investigations indicate that the driver who was carrying members of the United Church of Zambia failed to manage the curve due to the weight and the speed at which the motor vehicle was moving.

Mr. TAYALI informed Parliament in a Ministerial statement that government will enhance Motor vehicle testing in rural areas through mobile motor vehicle examinations and strengthen the system of driver training testing.

He said road safety awareness campaigns will also be intensified to sensitize the rural population.
