There was a collision involving the three vehicles.
Police said both the driver of the armoured vehicle and his crew member were injured during the impact and were rushed to hospital in serious condition.
“The crew member later succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. The suspects failed to steal the cash,” Netshiunda said.
