Military, CONGELCAM trucks collide in Sombo, several feared dead.

A truck belonging to CONGELCAM SA, leader in the importation, distribution and sale of sea products in the Central African country of Cameroon has been involved in a deadly accident.

Reports say the truck was involved in a head-on collision with a military truck at Sombo, a town in Nyong-et-Kelle Division in Cameroon’s Centre Region, some 71 kilometers away from Edea.

The accident occurred at about some few minutes after 10 PM GMT, Monday October, 14, 2019.

The total number of deaths wasn’t immediately registered but eyewitness accounts say several people are feared dead.

The military truck was going to Douala while CONGELCAM’s was en route to Yaoundé before the incident happened.

Heavy traffic with a long holdup on vehicles was reported.

Some victims were rushed to nearby infirmaries while local authorities arrived the scene to take stock of the situation. Road safety officials have also opened investigation into the matter.

Road accidents have become phenomenal in Cameroon, mostly resulting from poor road infrastructures, reckless driving and bad state of most automobiles that bribe their way into major highways with permit from government services.
