“There is a Level 100 student, a lady named Olivia, who was on board the Uber car. She was seated at the back and was affected by the impact, so she has been rushed to the student clinic to be attended to. We are yet to know her condition,” he said.

He also advocated the installation of speed ramps on the road to prevent future accidents.

“We have realised that there should be speed ramps. This will be included in our report so that the PDMSD or the university authorities will take it into consideration. School has just reopened and there are many students on campus, so this is necessary,” he added.
