According to sources, the truck which carried cassava roots swerved off the main road, overturned and hit a road camera.
Witnesses say that the truck was over speeding that the driver might have experienced brake failure.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) René Irere, the Spokesperson of Rwanda National Police (RNP) Traffic and Road Safety department has told IGIHE that there were three people onboard.
These include the owner of cassava roots, the driver and his assistant who died on spot.
SSP Irere appealed on drivers to avoid over speeding and remain vigilant along the road.
“We would like to remind drivers to drive at a moderate speed and remain vigilant as they cross road bends. Else, they have to read signposts and drive carefully along slippery roads,” he said.
SSP Irere has told IGIHE, by press time, that investigation was underway to establish cause of the accident.
The deceased and the two survivors were taken to Kibogora Hospital.
