Rainford Kalaba's Condition: Critical Yet Stable Following Tragic Accident.

Zambia's ex-captain Rainford Kalaba had a serious car accident on Saturday, and now he's in a "critical but stable" state, as reported by the country's football association.

The former Zambia team captain, Rainford Kalaba, was involved in a serious car accident in the town of Kafue. Riding as a passenger in a Mercedes Benz, the vehicle collided with a truck, resulting in a tragic outcome for the female driver.

Kalaba, currently hospitalized, sustained internal injuries according to Faz. 

Initial investigations by the police suggest that the accident occurred due to unsafe overtaking by the Mercedes.

The news of Kalaba's condition is of significant interest in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where he played for TP Mazembe from 2011 to 2023. 

Confusion initially arose about the seriousness of his injuries after updates from Mazembe on social media, which the club later clarified.
