“A total of 18 persons, comprising 10 male adults and eight female adults were involved in the accident. Twelve people were injured and unfortunately, five persons were recorded dead from the crash.

“The suspected causes of the fatal crash were tyre burst, speed and fatigue which led to loss of control because the driver slept off on the wheels and rammed into a moving truck.
