Journalists on motorbike hurt in collision with taxi

CJITL – Two journalists from Tempo Semanal, Dilma Sujete and Elsa Fernandes, were injured Tuesday in a collision with a taxi that fled the scene.

The journalists told CJITL they were riding together on a motorbike at 9:30 a.m., en route to cover a news story in Comoro, when the accident occurred in front of the Comoro market.

The journalists said the accident was the result of a “miscommunication” between them and the driver of the taxi.
The journalists wrote down the taxi’s plate number, but police were unable to immediately verify that as the driver drove away from the accident scene. The two women, who suffered injuries to their knees, hands and heads, have not yet returned to work
