ZAMBIA: At least two people have died in road accident involving an ambulance which is said it was speeding beyond its limit.

The deceased are a 21 year old pregnant woman and a male nurse.

The expecting mother, Agatha Chanda, and the nurse Simon Lukama, were on their way to Kabwe Central Hospital, where she had been referred to, from Katondo Clinic when the accident happened at a curve on the Hospital-Mukobeko road around 18:00 hours on New Year’s Day.

As a result of the high speed, the ambulance, which was being driven by Charles Makasa, 40, careered off the road and hit into a tree.
