According to Federal Road Safety Corps, or FRSC, Kaduna state sector commander Kabir Nadabo, ten people have died in a traffic collision on the Kaduna-Abuja expressway.
He clarified that a Toyota Hiace bus with registration number GDW190XA and a truck with registration number SMK 141XN, both commercial vehicles, collided head-on Thursday in Kasari hamlet along the freeway.
He went on to say, “The rescue was carried out by a combined team of rescue operatives from RS1.114 Zhipe, RS1.16B Dutse Outpost, some officers from the Nigerian Police Force, and some military personnel.”
Nadabo claims that an initial inquiry found 16 individuals—eight men and eight women—to be involved.
The injured passengers passed away in the hospital, increasing the number of fatalities to ten, according to the sector commander.
According to him, it was determined that reckless driving and wrongful overtaking were the causes of the traffic accident.
He went on to say that although the people in the vehicle were unharmed, the impact of the accident caused the bus to catch fire.
The command heard the extremely sad news, Nadabo said, emphasizing that it will not force the corps to compromise on its mission but rather work harder to involve transport unions and keep up its vigorous public awareness campaigns about safe driving practices and basic road etiquette.
