Six persons have been confirmed dead in a fatal auto crash, Tuesday, involving a truck and Sienna bus along the Calabar-Ogoja highway in Cross River.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, the Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in the state, Abdullahi Hassan, said one person was, also, injured in the accident.
“We have eight male adults and one female adult in the vehicles. One male adult sustained an injury, while those who died, six of them, consist of five males and one female.
“The registration number of the Siena vehicle is AFM 810 NK, while the truck has no number. The probable cause of the crash is wrongful overtaking and speeding.
“Both the injured and those who died have been taken to the General Hospital in Ogoja by officers of the FRSC,” he said.
Hassan advised motorists to always drive with caution.
A couple of days ago in Ozalla, Enugu State, all the passengers in a commercial bus, died when a Mercedes-Benz truck, driving against the traffic in the night had a head-on collusion with the bus. 15 people were burnt beyond recognition. The FRSC Commander in the area, in his reaction, warned against overspending and night travels.
