Two residents were rushed to hospital after a New Era bus and a private vehicle collided on Saturday at 1:32 p.m. Police authorities said the car driver lost control of his vehicle on a flyover next to Lisboa and subsequently crashed into New Era’s 28BX route in the opposite lane. Another accident occurred next to the reservoir when a truck crashed into road railings. According to reports, one passenger managed to leave the vehicle on his own, while the driver and another passenger were trapped inside the truck and were rescued later on. The drivers involved in both incidents passed breathalyzer tests.
