An eye witness disclosed that the vehicle which was coming from Mzuzu going to Nkhata Bay overturned after the driver failed to control it while descending a slope.
“The vehicle hit road embankment and it overturned,” said the witness.
Following the impact, the vehicle’s cab was extensively damaged.
