According to the sector commander, the accident, which involved one Toyota Carina car, a Toyota Corolla car and one Toyota Hiace bus, happened around 12:30 p.m.
“Thirty-two people were involved in the fatal road crash, and there were 27 male adults and five female adults.
“Two male adults lost their lives on the spot while 30 others sustained injuries,” he said.
Mr Abdullahi added that the injured had been taken to Toro General Hospital for treatment, while the corpses of the deceased were also deposited in the morgue of the same hospital for identification.
The sector commander advised road users to always be conscious of traffic rules and regulations while plying the roads.
He further urged vehicle owners and drivers to ensure they have good tyres, maintain average speed, perform routine vehicle maintenance and have a sound mind while driving.
