Reports from Waka town along the Buchanan-Monrovia highway in Grand Bassa County say at least three members of Grand Kru County District #2 Representative Jonathan Fornati Koffa’s Development Team have been killed in a tragic road accident.
The accident happened over the weekend, when the development team overseeing Rep. i Koffa (CDC, District # 2, Grand Kru), schools projects along with the Lace Team were on their way to Grand Kru to dedicate President George Weah’s housing project..
Eyewitnesses say at least three persons have been reported dead including a woman who’s infant is on critical list.
The accident, which took place around 5:30Am GMT on Sunday, was reportedly caused by bad road conditions which forced the white 2020 Hilux pickup truck to drift off the road but one may wonder how the accident occurred when the road from Monrovia to Buchanan, Grand Bassa County is completely paved.
Mr. Emmanuel Kollie, Chief Engineer for the Liberia Agency for Community Empowerment(LACE) is reportedly emerged from the accident unharmed.
