A commercial vehicle driver and his ‘mate’ have been involved in a fatal accident Monday morning.

The driver of the vehicle died while his ‘mate’ sustained critical injuries.

The two were the only persons in the vehicle at the time of the accident.

The body of the driver, whose name is not readily available, has been deposited at the St Martin de Porres Hospital Mortuary, Agormanya.

The drive’s mate is equally receiving treatment as the same facility.
