According to eyewitnesses, the motorbike carrying the two couples collided with a speeding car on the highway. The impact of the collision was severe, and all four passengers on the motorbike died instantly.

The motorbike rider had attempted to overtake a vehicle but misjudged the distance of the oncoming car. Witnesses reported that they had shouted at the rider to slow down, but it was too late.

The accident occurred on a poorly lit stretch of the road, which made it difficult for the driver of the car to see the motorbike. Residents claim that this part of the highway has been a hotspot for accidents due to its lack of streetlights and proper signage.

Emergency responders arrived at the scene shortly after the incident, but unfortunately, they were unable to save the victims. The paramedics expressed their sadness at the loss of life and urged motorbike riders to prioritize safety and adhere to traffic rules.

Family members of the deceased arrived at the scene, overcome with grief. They described the victims as full of life and expressed their shock and sadness at the sudden loss.

The police have launched an investigation into the accident and have taken the driver of the car involved into custody to assist with the investigation. The police are also urging motorbike riders to be more cautious and to follow traffic rules to prevent such accidents in the future.

The accident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of road safety and the need for all road users to be vigilant and responsible. The community is in mourning, and the accident will undoubtedly have a lasting impact on the families and friends of the victims.
