The minibus which is believed to have crashed late on Wednesday night has finally been towed off the said crash site on Friday morning.

Pedestrians at the scene on Thursday morning suggested that the accident could have been as a result of brake failure.
“It seems as if the bus lost control coming from Gloucester Street,” said a middle-aged man dressed in plaid shirt with khaki pants.
The area of the crash was cordoned off by authorities to avoid further injury or damage.
Siaka Stevens Street is located at the heart of Freetown. The street hosts very important offices and businesses.
Such accidents in this part of the city is rare as the street is most times clogged with traffic-jam especially on weekdays.
