A late-night road accident in Handeni District, Tanga Region, has claimed the lives of two people after a speeding Toyota Noah lost control and crashed into a stationary Toyota Canter.
The accident occurred in the early hours of Monday, February 10, 2025, at Kauzeni, Kwenjugo Ward.
Tanga Regional Police Commander Almachius Mchunguzi confirmed the incident, explaining that the Toyota Noah was traveling from Korogwe to Handeni when the driver failed to negotiate a bend and slammed into the parked Canter. “The driver was moving at high speed, which made it difficult to control the vehicle in time,” he said.
