Two fatalities and twelve injuries have been reported by the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) following an automobile accident in the Osara hamlet in Kogi’s Adavi Local Government Area.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lokoja was informed of this by Mr. Tenimu Etuku, the FRSC Sector Commander in Kogi.
Four of the fourteen survivors were in extremely severe condition and were sent to a neighboring hospital for medical care, according to the sector commander.
Etuku called the collision between an articulated vehicle (a truck) and an eighteen-seater Toyota Hiace bus “fatal.”
According to the manifest, he claimed, the unlucky bus departed Kano on Monday night and traveled to Auchi/Benin prior to the regrettable incident that occurred on Tuesday between 7 and 8 a.m.
He claimed that speeding and improper overtaking were the reasons for the head-on collision.
The two bodies have been placed in the hospital’s mortuary by the FRSC officers who performed the rescue, according to the sector commander.
Etuku advises drivers to follow traffic laws and regulations and drive carefully on the roadways, especially on Yuletide.
To prevent such collisions and the loss of valuable lives, drivers and other road users must exercise caution and properly follow traffic laws.
“They will significantly contribute to lowering the number of accidents and fatalities across the nation by doing this,” he said.
