A 47-year-old man died from his injuries after being struck by a vehicle on Wednesday afternoon at Tranokambana, in the fokontany of Ambohitraina, rural commune of Fihaonana, Ankazobe district. The accident occurred around 2:30 p.m. on RN4. According to initial information gathered by gendarmes, the pedestrian allegedly crossed the road abruptly. He reportedly stumbled just as a vehicle heading toward Mahajanga arrived. Despite apparently moderate speed, the victim was struck on the head by the left side of the car before falling heavily. The driver immediately transported the injured man to Anosiala hospital. However, upon arrival, doctors could only confirm his death, attributed to intracranial hemorrhage. The victim, a 47-year-old farmer residing in Tranokambana, unfortunately did not survive his injuries. Alerted to the incident, gendarmes from the Fihaonana territorial brigade went to the scene. Upon arrival, the vehicle, driver, and victim had already left the location. The 35-year-old driver was nevertheless found and held at the disposal of investigators at Fihaonana brigade. The vehicle involved was also impounded as part of proceedings. The prosecutor, administrative authorities, and gendarmerie hierarchy in Ankazobe were informed. An investigation has been opened to determine the precise circumstances of this fatal accident.
