Among the victims was a small child who was pulled from the wreckage in critical condition. A female passenger, showing signs of life, was also rescued along with two other severely injured individuals. All four victims were transported by an Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) ambulance to the 14 Military Hospital for emergency medical care.
