This newspaper was told that the dead and injured were all brought out from the accident site late Saturday evening because of the condition of the trail, which the vehicle that transported them had to traverse.
On Saturday last around 11:00 hours at New Road Aranapai, in the Puruni area, a truck GLL2372 was heading downhill when one of the rear wheels hit a stone. The vehicle then overturned.
