A few weeks earlier, another incident involving a Tahmed bus was reported. The bus had left Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and burnt down allegedly due to friction between tyres.
It was reported that a passenger requested the driver to stop at Komkonga to uproot some medicinal herbs when he (the passenger) noticed fire on one of the tyres.
