MOGADISHU — A tragic car accident occurred late last night on the road leading to the Jasira area on the outskirts of Mogadishu, resulting in significant damage and loss of life.
According to multiple reports, a luxury vehicle driven by a group of young individuals veered off the road and overturned.
The incident claimed at least three lives, identified as two girls inside the car and the driver, who was a government soldier.
Eyewitnesses at the scene reported that the car was engaged in a speed competition with another vehicle, which led to the fatal mishap.
The road to Jasira, known for its coastal path to the island, has been the site of numerous accidents, attributed to high-speed driving and deteriorated road conditions in certain sections.
This latest accident underscores the ongoing safety concerns on this route, highlighting the need for improved road maintenance and stricter enforcement of speed limits.
