The video captured passengers squeezed together, some sitting on each other's laps, while others perched on top of the vehicle due to lack of space inside the car.
Witnessing the packed conditions, the road safety officer expressed his dismay, stating, "Because you’re going for burial, you’ll now kill other people. How can you load people like this, for God's sake?"
During the incident, one of the officers confirmed to his colleagues that the car's brakes were faulty as they attempted to move the overloaded vehicle.
The sight elicited mixed reactions from netizens, with some expressing concern over the risky situation.
