Results indicate the cause of death to be consistent to injuries sustained as a result of a motor vehicle accident. The 51 year old driver of the vehicle where the woman was traveling in is currently admitted at the Colonial War Memorial Hospital and will only be interviewed once clearance has been given by medical authorities.
Overloaded buses
