The Honda Stream swerved off the road but the bus did the same and they collided.
Last year the government banned private commuter omnibuses (kombis) resulting in little non-commercial vehicles (4 passengers) overloading passengers to fill in the void in the transport sector.
The transport sector is now dominated by Mushikashika vehicles which although they have capacities of 4 passengers are carrying as many as nine passengers.
