Only four bodies out of the 17 Chisamba bus accident victims have been identified.
Acting Central Province medical officer Abel Kabalo said by midday yesterday only four people had been identified out of the 17 who died in a tragic accident on Tuesday near Ibis Garden turn-off.
Residents have however continued to inspect the bodies at Kabwe General Hospital mortuary with the view of identifying the deceased.
Dr Kabalo said in an interview yesterday that he was hopeful that the remaining bodies would be identified before the end of the week.
Meanwhile, there was confusion at Kabwe General Hospital mortuary after word went round that 17 people had died in a road traffic accident involving a Kabwe minibus.
Quick action by the police saved the situation from degenerating into pandemonium.
A check on Tuesday evening at the Kabwe General Hospital found several residents busy trying to identify the bodies with others openly wailing as they could not hold their emotions.
Health personnel had a tough time to control the situation and police had to be called in to help.
The accident occurred after a Lusaka-bound Toyota Hiace minibus collided with a Volvo truck around 06:00 hours on Tuesday after a tyre burst.
