SOURCE: STATE MEDIA- The man was taken to hospital after his vehicle overturned along the main road near the YIDA Special Economic Zone, but he later succumbed to his injuries, according to reports.

Preliminary information suggests he lost control of the vehicle before it veered off the roadway and flipped into nearby bushes.

Emergency Medical Services personnel responded to the scene, extricated the driver from the wreckage and administered CPR before transporting him for further treatment.

The crash followed an earlier fatal incident in Freetown, where a female motorist died after her vehicle struck a fence. Responders said it appeared she may have lost consciousness prior to that collision.

Authorities have not released further details as investigations continue.
