At least 40 people were killed after a Route 100 (Highway) Coaster bus and a Route 3 public motor vehicle (PMV, a refitted truck used for public transportation) crashed head-on in Papua New Guinea's worst ever road accident.[1] The accident happened 130 km outside of Lae, in Morobe province.[1][2] It was described as "one of the saddest days in the history of road accidents", occurring in an "impoverished" country.[4] The local morgue was unable to cope with demand as bodies from the crash piled up.[5] Two of the dead may have been taken elsewhere which would leave the death toll at 42 if confirmed.[1] CrashThe two buses were intended to carry only twenty-five people each but were overloaded at the time of the incident.[7][8][3] They were also said to have been speeding, travelling as fast as {{convert|100|km/h|abbr=on|-1}}.[7] The drivers encountered potholes on the road and could not avoid a collision.[4][7][8] Bodies were thrown through windows and across the road, some onto tar, some onto grass.[1][15] Broken heads, limbs and necks were seen by onlookers.[1] A policeman later said: "This accident appears to have occurred when both drivers tried to avoid potholes, and in the process collided".[8] Some local people rushed to assist those in need of attention,[15] claiming they had never before seen such a "bloody and macabre" scene.[1] Many of those injured died on the scene quite quickly.[7] Eight others received serious wounds.[7] Many more died before emergency services arrived on the scene.[7] Eighteen people were hospitalised in the aftermath of the accident.[4] Eight of these people were left in intensive care.[5] Some of these eight are not expected to survive.[5] One passenger, 22-year-old Gideon Jack, said he was asleep at the time of the crash and woke up to find his bloodied body being loaded into a truck.[15] Media in Papua New Guinea posted what were described by ABC Radio Australia's News as "shocking photographs of bodies hanging out of the mangled wreckage of the two buses".[5] The buses were described by media in Australia as "mangled wrecks".[6] Angau Hospital in Lae saw its morgue packed with bodies and relatives came to check if anyone they knew was amongst them.[6] The morgue was unable to cope as bodies kept coming in, prompting requests for refrigerator donations.[7][8] ResponseAssistant Police Commissioner Giossi Labi described the crash as follows: "It is one of the saddest days in the history of road accidents where we have such a number of commuters die at once".[9][4] He also accused bus drivers of speeding so they could make more money by getting to their destinations quicker and picking up more passengers.[10] Peter Guinness, a superintendent, said: "There are so many potholes along the highway. Some of these potholes are like craters. Now they basically wanted to avoid those potholes".[7] Koni Iguan, a parliamentarian, said it was "the most horrific accident" ever witnessed and described it as "This is the nastiest and bloodiest of accidents on the highway".[5][9] Nearby villagers backed him up as he said no less than 10 deaths would be expected from such a horrific accident.[1]References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite news|url=http://www.thenational.com.pg/?q=node/5114|title=Forty killed |author=Pisai Gumar and Daisy Taniova Pawa |work=The National|accessdate=17 January 2010|location=Papua New Guinea}} 2. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5haqQnjwAUaDPnYceLG-TZS-0UYCA|title=40 dead in PNG bus smash: reports|date=14 January 2010|agency=AFP | publisher=Google News|accessdate=17 January 2010| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20100120050709/https://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5haqQnjwAUaDPnYceLG-TZS-0UYCA| archivedate= 20 January 2010 | deadurl= no}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.rnzi.com/pages/news.php?op=read&id=51395|title=Bus accident in PNG claims 38 lives|date=14 January 2010|accessdate=14 January 2010|publisher=Radio New Zealand}} 4. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news|url=https://www.columbian.com/news/2010/jan/14/38-people-killed-in-papua-new-guinea-bus-crash/|title=38 people killed in Papua New Guinea bus crash|date=14 January 2010|accessdate=25 February 2019|work=The Columbian}} 5. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/World/Story/STIStory_477242.html|title=40 dead in PNG bus crash|date=14 January 2010|accessdate=14 January 2010|publisher=The Straits Times| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20100119042445/http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/World/Story/STIStory_477242.html| archivedate= 19 January 2010 | deadurl= no}} 6. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news|url=http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/bus-crash-leaves-38-dead-in-saddest-day/story-e6frfku0-1225819116357|title=Bus crash leaves 38 dead in 'saddest day'|date=14 January 2010|accessdate=14 January 2010|publisher=news.com.au| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20100117043354/http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/bus-crash-leaves-38-dead-in-saddest-day/story-e6frfku0-1225819116357| archivedate= 17 January 2010 | deadurl= no}} 7. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|author=Liam Foxe|url=http://www.radioaustralianews.net.au/stories/201001/2792253.htm?desktop|title=Forty dead after PNG bus collision|date=14 January 2010|accessdate=14 January 2010|publisher=ABC Radio Australia| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20100116034504/http://www.radioaustralianews.net.au/stories/201001/2792253.htm?desktop| archivedate= 16 January 2010 | deadurl= no}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/01/14/2792267.htm?section=justin|title=40 dead in PNG bus crash|date=14 January 2010|accessdate=14 January 2010|publisher=ABC News| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20100118102353/http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/01/14/2792267.htm?section=justin| archivedate= 18 January 2010 | deadurl= no}} 9. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite web|url=http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=116132§ionid=3510212 |title=Forty die in Papua New Guinea bus crash |date=14 January 2010 |accessdate=14 January 2010 |publisher=Press TV |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120926014704/http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=116132§ionid=3510212 |archivedate=26 September 2012 |df= }} 10. ^{{cite news|url=http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-world/png-bus-crash-leaves-38-dead-20100114-m7pc.html|title=PNG bus crash leaves 38 dead|date=14 January 2010|accessdate=14 January 2010|publisher=The Sydney Morning Herald | first=Ilya | last=Gridneff| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20100118135521/http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-world/png-bus-crash-leaves-38-dead-20100114-m7pc.html| archivedate= 18 January 2010 | deadurl= no}} External links
