3 INJURED AS RUNAWAY CAR PLOUGHS INTO PAVEMENT

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.
