The injured Johnson reportedly jumped back into his vehicle and sped off, after which the vehicle got out of control and slammed into a group of people who were standing along the roadway.

The injured persons, including Johnson, were taken to hospital, where he was initially pronounced dead.

Three of the persons who sustained injuries after being hit by the motor vehicle, also reportedly died.
