Summary
Internal Coca-Cola incident report from 19 Sep 2007. A driver for Coca-Cola hit nineteen children in the village of Kiwira, in the Mbeya region of Tanzania, as they crossed the road after Church near Coca-Cola's Mbeya plant. He then ran off, turning himself in the next day to local authorities. Coca Cola is conducting an internal investigation into the status of the driver at the time of the accident and why it took so long for him to report the accident. Ten of the nineteen children died, the other nine were hospitalized. The villagers burned the truck.
There appears to be a brewing issue in Tanzania as to whether there was a subsequent attempt to quell publicity about the incident and, one might imagine, what if any compensation the families of the children deserve and whether Coca-Cola is culpable.
