He said he tried everything possible to avoid hitting oncoming traffic and swerved the vehicle out of the road, but it unfortunately overturned injuring the women in the process.
The kombi was extensively damaged as a result of the accident. The truck that was reported to have caused the accident landed in a  ditch on the opposite side of the road. It was fully loaded with empty crates.
