MBABANE – Being at the right place at the right time does not mean one is
safe. This was evident when three unsuspecting people were involved in an
accident when a female motorist lost control of her motor vehicle near Lilunga
House building in Mbabane yesterday morning.
As a result, the motor vehicle veered off the road and knocked down two people
who were standing on the pavement. Those found at the scene identified one of
the survivors as a member of the parking metre wardens operating in the capital
city.
“The metre warden was talking to another person when they were both knocked
down by the car while standing on the pavement,” said a female witness found
at the scene.  The car proceeded to smash the wall fence before it was blocked
by the pot plants placed near the road.
Those found at the scene believe the motor vehicle could have caused more damage
if it wasn’t for the pot plant near the road on the pavement.
The third person to be injured was an unsuspecting employee who was working at
the garage inside the wall fence.
Witnesses said he was severely injured when he was hit by the falling bricks as
a result of the accident.
His colleague, who was found at the scene, said the injured man fell from the
top of a cliff and hit against the garage floor after he was hit by the bricks.
They said he had been already given first aid when paramedics rushed him to
hospital.
When the scene was visited, the three had been rushed to Mbabane Government
Hospital. Police were found recording statements from the people found the
scene.
Chief Police Information and Communications Officer Superintendent Khulani Mamba
confirmed the accident.
