RTSA DIRECTS ZMSA TO SUSPEND ALL SPINNING AND DRIFTING MOTOR SPORT EVENTS

The Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) yesterday recorded a road accident in which a male spectator was killed after the driver taking part in spinning and drifting motor sport event lost control of the vehicle and careered off the course crashing into a group of spectators.

A number of other spectators were also injured in the accident which involved a Toyota Altezza driven by Nason Kapambala at the National Sports Development Centre (NASDEC).

The RTSA Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Gladwell Banda, has conveyed a message of condolences to the bereaved family, describing the accident as tragic and unfortunate.

The RTSA has since directed the Zambia Motor Sport Association (ZMSA) to suspend all spinning and drifting motor sport events until safety standards are improved to avoid such accidents in future.

This is contained in a statement issued by RTSA Head of Public Relations Fredrick Mubanga.
