The Liberia National Police (LNP) has confirmed the death of two persons in a recent accident involving a collision between a motorbike and a police presidential escort. In a release issued in Monrovia on Monday, November 24, 2025, the LNP announced the regrettable occurrence of a fatal Road Traffic Accident (RTA) on Saturday, November 22, 2025, along the Kakata–Careysburg highway.
The accident involved a motorbike operated by Peter Kamara, 45, with passenger Charis Momo, 45, both residents of Kakata, and an LNP vehicle. Both victims sustained serious injuries and were rushed to CH Rennie Hospital in Kakata, where they were later pronounced dead.
It can be recalled that residents and passersby at Todee Junction in Margibi County were seen weeping for a man identified as Peter Kamara, who was reportedly killed following a road traffic accident involving a police vehicle believed to be part of the Presidential convoy.
Grief-stricken relatives gathered at the C.H. Rennie Hospital, where they faced the devastating reality that their loved one had reportedly succumbed to his injuries shortly after the accident. According to eyewitnesses, the main convoy had already passed when the last police escort vehicle allegedly hit Kamara’s motorbike.
An eyewitness riding on another motorbike directly behind the victim of the accident, recounted that no siren was sounded and that the escort vehicle hit Kamara on the side before crashing into the motorcycle. Both the damaged motorbike and the police vehicle were said to have remained on the scene as bystanders rushed Kamara to the hospital.
At the hospital, Kamara’s mother and his son, clad in a CMC T-shirt, cried uncontrollably as stunned residents gathered in disbelief. However, many called on authorities to swiftly investigate the incident and extend support to the grieving family. Though eyewitnesses indicate that Kamara did not survive the accident, official confirmation of his death has yet to be released. Meanwhile, the Liberia National Police expresses its deepest condolences to the families of Peter Kamara and Charis Momo. The LNP said it is in direct contact with the bereaved families and stands with them during this difficult time.
