Reckless driving in the port city of Douala seems to be on the rise. A yet to be identified woman is said to have in a critical state following a motor accident in Bonapriso yesterday at about 1 a.m.

The Mercedes car, matriculated Lt470DC, belonging and driven by her boyfriend soon veered from the street and jammed against two electric poles and an iron gate of the former Satom in Bonapriso. Following the hard shocks, she sustained serious injuries all over her body, even after being flung to the macadamized street. Night watchmen around explained that driver drove almost under the influence and control of alcoholism.

The driver sustained no injuries, unless shocks that led to his being rushed to the Laquintinie Hospital. André, private security, latter in the morning the driver visited the scene but the woman’s condition’s remains critical.

However, the unforeseen deviation from the street as the car drove up to around Hotel de L’Air Junction is yet a matter to comprehend by most city dwellers. Douala’s accidents, sometimes grave ones, have gone on unabated despite City Council’s implantation of Highway Code along streets to educate drivers.
