The accident happened on South Rukuru River on the way to Euthini from Rumphi Boma.

The sinking ambulance in Mzimba.

According to Mzimba District Health Officer, the eight nurses together with the driver were going for a funeral of their fellow nurse at Malidade in the district.

As they were crossing the river, a big wave of water found the vehicle almost three-quarters through. The driver lost control of the car and it was pushed into the river.

However, onlookers reacted quickly and they managed to rescue all the people in the car.

The district’s health office later sent a tractor to get the vehicle tied to a tree so that it should not sink into the river or to get further washed away.

Meanwhile, the district’s health office has now removed the ambulance from the river. The office has since praised God for saving the nurses.

  4. Never ceases to amaze me that an ambulance is used transport nurses to funerals, pickup supplies, fairy people about. Yet the purpose is to be used for emergencies. Not surprising some hospitals complain of not having petrol to react to emergencies. Now the unnecessary expense of having to repair this ambulance,
