1:08 CAT | 20 Oct 2016

Folha de Maputo / The car caught fire after crashing

One person was shot dead and another was wounded last night, after police gave chase to a vehicle that failed to obey an order to stop, Folha de Maputo reports.

According to the same source, the chase began at the ‘Toyota roundabout’ at the top of Avenida 24 de Julho in Maputo when the occupants of a Toyota Altezza ignored an order to stop. The police pursued the vehicle at high speed firing shots until it crashed in the Avenida Salvador Allende near the Maputo Central Hospital mortuary.

The vehicle stopped after going off the road when the driver was allegedly killed by police fire. The Altezza then caught fire.
