An ambulance carrying a patient from BajaKunda health center in Wuli East to Basse major health center got stuck in the mud for hours before villagers could get it out.
The poor road network in that area gets worse yearly especially during the raining season, forcing many people to result to bicycles and motorcycles to get to the regional capital, Basse.
Couple of days ago, a passenger vehicle locally known as Geleh Geleh, which was carrying over forty passengers had an accident at Chamoi Mbunda culvert wounding scores of people.
Sarjo Jaiteh of Bantunding village development committee said when the ambulance got stuck while making referrals and it took them time before they could get the ambulance out. ” The ambulance usually carry women with complicated labor cases.”
Jaiteh said even the commercial vehicles that transport food stuff to their far out villages and the ones carrying passengers many at times face similar challenges.
After the incident three villages came together in a combined effort to fix certain parts of the road he said.
