MORE TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN CENTRAL PROVINCE IN JUNE 2025; MAGI HIGHWAY RECORDS THE HIGHEST

CENTRAL Province police reported more than ten traffic accidents in the month of June, some of which were serious and some minor, at different sections of the highways in the province.

Central Provincial Police Commander Superintendent Joseph Salle confirmed that, within the month of June, the highest number of accidents was reported along the Maggi Highway.

He stated that police are investigating these incidents. He also mentioned that other accidents were reported along the Hiritano Highway, as well as along Lea Lea and Sogeri Road.

PPC Salle added that, from general observation, the road conditions along the highways are also one of the main causes of accidents.

In some locations along the highway, construction companies are upgrading the road, hence accidents along the Maggi highway are increasing, and this is a concern for the Central Police.

He mentioned that there are many things that drivers must take into consideration, including the condition of the road, the road signs, other road users, and the passengers in the vehicle they are carrying.

“This will help you avoid accidents while on the road. There are also other contributing factors, like the vehicle’s mechanical faults. When accidents happen, please report them to the police and make sure to follow up to claim insurance if your vehicle’s documents are all in order. Always work closely with the police. On that note, make sure to be a good driver who has all the documents in place when you are on the road.” PPC Salle said.

PPC Salle said most traffic accidents happen during the weekends when drivers are under the influence. He stated that the police have tried their best to conduct random checks or stop and search vehicles, but people are often too ignorant. He mentioned that the police are doing their best to ensure that all those who need assistance in traffic accidents receive help accordingly.
