Three police traffic officers have been rushed to Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre after a motorist hit them following some misunderstandings.

South West Police Region headquarters spokesperson, Ramsey Mushani, confirmed the incident but asked for more time for further details.

However, one eye-witness, James Muka, the misunderstanding erupted when speed trap police officer stopped the motorist at Bestobel along Masauko Chipembere Highway and fined him for exceeding Highway speed limit.

But the motorist pleaded with the officers that he had inadequate funds to pay. This compelled traffic officers to confiscate the motorist’s driving licence.

Explained Muka: “This did not please the motorist. He warned that he would hit them. About four minutes later, the motorist drove his car at a high speed towards the police camera and hit the officers, as well as the gadgets.”
