The inhabitants of Kara (420km from Lomé) have been in shock since last Wednesday.
For good reason, the city is bereaved by a traffic accident that has caused enormous human damage (about 20 deaths) and property damage.
The event…
On January 23, 2020, at around 7 p.m., a large-body vehicle spread psychosis among the population.
Heading north, at the entrance to the town of Kara, the driver visibly lost control of his truck. Driving at high speed, the vehicle's brake would have failed, according to witnesses. The brake has become impossible, so the truck would not have a horn in good condition to allow the driver to alert the passengers and of course the residents of this road. The screams of the young boy who was on board the truck were not enough to alert the users and passers-by.
The drama has become inevitable. The titan ended his deadly run on lifeless bodies to the City's Tomdè junction.
Shops and other facilities were destroyed. Several damaged motorcycles. As for the human toll, eyewitnesses say there were several deaths and injuries. Our sources tell us about 20.

The shock is the disappearance of a dealer with her two daughters and one of her nephews, who lost their lives in this accident.
Although comments are swirling from everywhere, the witnesses' versions are converging on the driver's wrong choice at this embarrassing time to save the situation.
The Togolese authorities involved in road safety awareness and road traffic accidents have not yet been decided.
This is the first serious accident with a heavy toll at the beginning of 2020.
