Establish cause of accidents at Likoni Channel

The rising number of accidents at the Likoni Channel, some of them fatal, is now raising eyebrows. Yesterday morning, a truck slipped into the Indian Ocean. Later in the afternoon, a security company van was also involved in an accident at the same point, leaving two people slightly injured.

On Tuesday, the driver of a tourist bus and his passenger escaped death by a whisker after the vehicle plunged into the ocean. In October last year, a mother and her daughter died after their car also plunged into the ocean.

These are just some of the reported cases, which show that something is amiss at the channel. If it were just one incident, this could easily be blamed on the driver's recklessness or a defective vehicle. But that clearly isn't the case.

There is need for urgent investigations to establish exactly what is causing these accidents and necessary steps taken to avert further deaths.
