A Tanzania People’s Defence Forces (TPDF) pilot and his trainee died yesterday after their plane crash-landed on the Segera-Chalinze highway, narrowly avoiding head-on collisions with a bus and a truck carrying 23 foreign tourists.
Eyewitnesses said the plane crashed onto the road at around 10.10 am, and nearly collided with a truck carrying 19 tourists from Holland and four from Kenya, who were accompanied and a Tanzanian guide. The party was travelling from Lushoto in Tanga to Dar es Salaam to board a boat to Zanzibar, when the accident occurred nearly 250 kilometres north of the city.
