Fleet incident in Tanzania — TIRA, LATRA and Workers' Compensation Fund after a serious accident on the Tanzam Highway

A distribution operator with a depot in Mwananyamala, Dar es Salaam, runs sixteen rigid trucks serving the Dar es Salaam port, the Tanzam Highway corridor to Zambia, and the Northern Corridor connection through Arusha. A serious accident occurs on the A-104 between Morogoro and Mikumi with one fatality and one injured driver. Within fourteen days four files open: the Tanzania Police Force traffic investigation, the Director of Public Prosecutions assessment under the Penal Code, the Tanzania Insurance Regulatory Authority (TIRA) complaint route after the fleet insurer disputes the claim, and the Workers' Compensation Fund (WCF) review for the deceased employee's dependants.
