A 37-year old man of Lusaka has died after a backhoe loader he was trying to repair rolled over him, Lusaka Province commissioner of police Charity Katanga has said.
Ms Katanga said in an interview yesterday that Aaron Musangu, a machine operator of Chilulu township, died at Levy Mwanawasa General Hospital.
Ms Katanga said the incident happened on Thursday around 10:10 hours in Chudleigh.
She said Mr Musangu went under the vehicle to check on a mechanical problem and the machine moved and rolled over him. Mr Musangu was taken to the hospital, where he died around 15:00 hours.
Sorry about his death. Safety issue here. He was a mechanic and he should have thought of safety first. But safety is foreign in Zambia. But where is this Chilulu township? Lusaka is a township and garbage city. Shame.
