He said, “normally when there is an accident on our road, we move to check for casualties just to help. But when this one happened and we moved to the scene, the vehicle was ablaze and the driver has already left the scene.”
“We did not know what was in the vehicle and nobody gave us any information concerning that, disregard any rumors indicating that the driver informed us. The first responders and people who got closer to the vehicle died, imagine if the driver told them about what was in the vehicle, do you think they would still be standing there to lose their lives”.
