Bystanders were able to extract the victims from the wrecked vehicle, but unfortunately, most of them did not survive the impact.
The incident serves as a grim reminder of the dangers of road travel, particularly on routes with construction work in progress. Our thoughts and condolences go out to the families and loved ones of the deceased.
