Tala MCA Alex Kamitu has urged drivers in the area to be careful while driving in a bid to avert rising numbers of accidents in the area.
Speaking from his office on Tuesday, Kamitu said that carelessness has been the major cause of accidents in the area.
"It's sad to see lives being lost due to carelessness of some drivers. Although the numbers have not reached alarming numbers, we need to deal with the issues as early as now," said Kamitu.
He added, "I don't see the need to speed or drive while drunk. Remember other people are also using the same roads. If only we could be extra vigilant while behind the wheel, then the number of accidents would decrease."
This comes two days after an accident in Kaumoni area that claimed three lives. One of the drivers hit a trio that was on the side of the road, killing one on the spot. One died on the way to hospital while the other one died in hospital.
