Got a little bored staying in Mzimba doing nothing. Thought I could ride to my sister's in Mzuzu in a minibus.
Just as we were approaching Chikangawa, we got blocked ahead by a truck being pulled from an accident spot. Just a head is a pillar written Songwe 375km?
So, what might have happened here? There are many bends, there sign to indicate this seems to be way right near the accident spot. If a road sign was way back, the driver would know to be careful.
So, Songwe 3?? Km near Chikangawa. A curious driver going to mzuzu at night would indeed be surprised because he would think he is already near Songwe when he was going to Mzuzu. So he would reverse his car and look at the sign properly yet he will position his car for the headlights to lit up the sign. Maybe even walk out. To an suspecting truck driver who sees a car wrongly parked in the road which indeed he can hit. So avoiding the car, he will indeed roll over on the other side of the road.
The place has no phone signal, Airtel, at least. I don't know about tnm.
If the accident happened at night, very infrequently do cars and those that do pass, would think it has happened long ago.
The driver who might have stopped, would jump in his car and run away for he is guilty and would not think of telling someone till too late.
I don't know yet if the passengers were ok. There were people around picking up the spilt maize, some pulling the truck off the road.
I was just passing by.
I have attached a geo tagged picture of the place for those who can fix things like road signs and stuff.
