“Upon arrival, we discovered it was a lone accident involving a Lexus car with no registration number. The driver lost control due to speeding, causing his death, while the other occupant suffered multiple fractures and internal injuries,” Manga explained.

However, the rescue operation was delayed as the victim’s family and local youths blocked the expressway, demanding the body not be taken to the mortuary.
