A road accident has been recorded on the Lushnjë–Berat road, near the village of Kashtbardhë. The driver of a “Ford” vehicle failed to take the curve, went off the road and ended up in the side canal, which fortunately had no water.
Three sisters and a baby about two months old were traveling in the rented vehicle. As a result of the accident, one of the passengers was slightly injured; she and the baby were transported to Lushnjë Hospital for medical checks.
It is reported that the three sisters were emigrants living in England and were traveling toward Berat. The lack of lighting on this road section is suspected to have been the cause of the accident, causing the driver not to distinguish the curve and continue straight.
Fortunately, the speed within the permitted limits meant that the accident did not have more serious consequences, while the vehicle suffered material damage.
Police are at the scene and are carrying out actions to document the accident. This curve is again a cause of concern for drivers, while the lack of lighting is suspected as one of the factors that may have contributed to the accident.
