He said the 48 persons died from 29 accidents, which also injured 96 persons.
According to him, a total of 31 commercial and 16 private vehicles were involved in the accidents.
He warned motorists against over speeding which, he said, was the major cause of the accidents.

He advised: “It is better to arrive late than to be the late.”
