“A few metres away, there was another accident involving two commercial buses and a truck. The policemen were able to rescue the victims in the buses and conveyed them unto an ambulance. The policemen stood nearby by the BRT Bus Stop to get a vehicle into which they could put the corpses.

“However, some minutes later, a white jeep parked at the centre of the road for unknown reasons. Another vehicle, which was coming behind with high speed, did not notice the vehicle on time and attempted to avoid hitting the white jeep.

“However, the driver swerved to where the policemen were and knocked them down. One policeman died on the spot as well as the civil defence man. Another policeman was also injured but survived. Meanwhile, the driver has been arrested and investigations are ongoing.”

Braide warned motorists to be safety conscious especially during the ember months and also obey the movement restriction on environmental sanitation days.
