“As it stands now 31 dead, but 29 of the have been identified by their relations and bodies have been taken away for burial. It remains 2 of the dead bodies that are unidentified that are still at the mortuary.”
Meanwhile, the Northern Regional branch of the Motor Traffic and Transport Unit has indicated to Citi News it has commenced investigations into the insurance documents of the drivers of the Metro Mass Transit bus and Benz bus, who died at the scene if the crash, for onward claim by the survivors.
The Northern Regional MTTU Boss, Superintendent Blewushie Godwin Cachman in an interview with Citi News said no one could be held responsible for the accident as both drivers died in the process.
“The victims have to apply for an accident report to claim insurance. With that we must make sure the deceased drivers must have their documents intact and up to date. We are going to look for that to make sure all the drivers have their valid documents then we can prepare accident reports for those who will like to claim insurance,” he added.
