The death toll in the Kiang Kolior car crash has risen to six following head-on collision of a passenger van with a speeding truck.

Three people died on the spot leaving several others severely injured.

An eyewitness who wants to remain anonymous told Gambiana: “the number of people that died is now six. My landlord is among the dead.”

“I was terrified seeing people laying down helpless and bleeding. The most devastating aspect is that help won’t arrive until 1 hour plus after the accident,” BB Leigh, also an eyewitness, said.
