Nkhata-Bay Police Public Relations Officer Sergeant Kondwani James confirmed the incident to Nyanja Online.
According to James the deceased have been identified as Boy Nyirenda aged 22 and Miriam Nkhata aged 11 both from Chisindizi Village T/A Timbiri in Nkhata Bay District.
It is reported that on February 26, 2021 the driver Smith Million was driving a motor vehicle registration number BW 8960 Toyota Sienta from Nkhata Bay to Chintheche along Nkhata Bay – Nkhotakota M5 road with eight passengers on board.
As he was approaching Msomba area the driver wanted to overtake another motor vehicle.
