Four people believed to have been under the influence of alcohol escaped death after a vehicle veered off the road in Nalawa, Ra.

It is alleged that the 37-year-old driver lost control of his vehicle, causing it to veer off the road on Sunday morning.

Police say the four people, who were believed to be drunk, were rushed to the nearest health centre, where they received medical treatment.

Investigations into the accident are continuing.

Police say driving under the influence of alcohol is both inconsiderate and dangerous.

They are again calling on members of the public, particularly drivers, to take road safety seriously, as every wrong decision could cause serious harm, leaving behind a trail of devastation for families and innocent road users.

They are reminding drivers to choose life and not a lifetime of regrets, and not to drink and drive.

People can report dangerous driving by calling 1681.
