The driver of a minibus that killed five people at the exit of the Ambohidahy tunnel last week has been arrested and taken into custody in Antanimora. The incident was recorded on October 13, a tragic reminder that families are often overlooked when transportation accidents result in fatalities. The driver faces potential charges carrying sentences of three months to two years imprisonment, with fines ranging from 200,000 to 6,000,000 ariary according to traffic laws. The judge's decision will depend on the results of the technical vehicle inspection. Questions remain unanswered: Did the brakes fail, or were there other causes? Was the driver aware of any mechanical issues? Was there truly a motorcycle that suddenly cut in front, as claimed by witnesses who were inside the vehicle and shared their accounts on social media? Initial technical inspection found no brake problems. Will the investigation stop here, or will it delve deeper into the vehicle's condition? While the accident has already occurred, lessons must be drawn from thorough investigation to prevent recurrence. Many believe there are too many such incidents, particularly involving public transport vehicles often dubbed "mobile coffins." The question arises: Should responsibility lie with inspection procedures, or are licensing standards too lenient? The transportation sector urgently needs major reforms and serious consideration, as it affects far too many lives. D.R
