Nine men tragically lost their lives in a devastating incident at a quarry in Zambia. The unfortunate event occurred when a large pile of gravel collapsed on the workers as they were loading gravel onto a truck. The men were operating illegally in the quarry located in Chongwe, approximately 50 kilometers east of the capital, Lusaka.
Authorities reported that the collapse took place on a Sunday, leading to the burial of the men and the truck under the gravel. Despite the rescue efforts, eight bodies were recovered on the same day before the operation was halted due to nightfall. The following day, a ninth body was retrieved from the site.
