At an intersection in front of the Deux Mamelles, the Peugeot 504 car carrying Demba Camara, guitarist Sékou Diabaté, and secondary vocalist Salifou Kaba was involved in a collision.
Demba Camara was crushed under a door and was taken along with the other two[1] to Dentec Hospital,[4] where doctors determined that he had suffered a fractured skull, compressed rib cage, and several lacerations.
[1] Upon the announcement of Demba Camara's death, a delegation of the Guinean government and central committee of the Parti Démocratique de Guinée assembled under Minister of Education Mamadi Keïta to retrieve his body.
It landed at Dakar-Yoff Airport at 16:20, where it was met with a large crowd of mourners and a Senegalese Government delegation led by President of the National Assembly Amadou Cissé Dia.
[1] One hundred thousand people dressed in white followed his body to the Camayenne cemetery in procession, led by the Camp Boiro military band as it performed Boloba, a Manding song traditionally played in honor of warriors.
