A fatal accident occurred earlier today at the Tipper Garage Junction in Dutse, under the Bwari Area Council, when a truck reportedly suffered brake failure and crashed into multiple vehicles, leaving at least two people dead.
Eyewitnesses told Africa Health Report (AHR) that the impact of the crash was devastating. One of the victims was so badly mangled that bystanders had to gather the remains before the body was covered. Two tricycles (Keke NAPEP) were also completely crushed in the incident.
At the time of filing this report, police officers were already on the scene, but there was no visible presence of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
The overturned truck remained at the site, drawing a large crowd of onlookers. Some witnesses expressed concern that more victims might still be trapped beneath the wreckage.
Rescue efforts are ongoing.
More details shortly.
