A devastating road accident occurred on the Abuja-Kaduna expressway on Thursday, claiming the lives of 21 travellers.

The tragic incident involved a trailer truck and a enger Hummer bus heading to Kano and Batsari town in Katsina state.

According to an eyewitness, the accident happened near a route diversion, where all motorists were forced to drive on a single lane.

He said the driver of the articulated vehicle fled the scene, leaving behind his vehicle and another container truck, which blocked the busy highway.

He noted that the accident took place close to a route diversion that forced all motorists from the two opposite directions to drive on single lane.

An official of the Federal Road Safety Commission, who wished to remain anonymous, reported that “Three engers survived the accident and were rushed to Umaru Musa Memorial Hospital in Sabon-Wuse town for medical attention. The remains of the victims were deposited at the hospital’s morgue.”

“The accident is a wake-up call for all of us to be more careful on the road,” said a motorist who witnessed the accident. “We need to exercise caution and patience while plying the route.”

The FRSC and police authorities have yet to confirm the incident.

The Divisional Police Officer in charge of Tafa Division, Kagarko LG of Kaduna State, Idris Ibrahim, was said to be compiling a report on the incident.

Our correspondent gathered that the tragic accident has caused a significant buildup of traffic on the expressway, with motorists stranded for hours.

The incident highlights the need for improved road safety measures and enforcement to prevent such tragedies.

The authorities urged motorists to exercise caution and patience while plying the route, as efforts are being made to clear the wreckage and restore normal traffic flow.

May God comfort. In truth, most of these accidents are affordable. Most of cars, vehicles plying our roads are not roadworth. Overspending. Carelessness, using phones behind the steering.

This aboki drivers are worst than peace motors drivers. Once they umuahia tower, you need to see them cable up as it they are in a competition

You shall not die in this season in the name of Jesus

Most hummer buses are scrap, they are not road worthy,but does anything work in nigeria. Majority of these hummer buses have been due for butchering almost 3decades ago,but na naija na,one man scrap is another man's gold. The impact wasn't much,but becos the body of the bus was already scrap,the body shifted and na chassis come remain

So this accident was caused by road diversion. Poor signalling and lack of respect for human life.

Very sad, Our nature of mortality is depressive to think about..

You sess, we all need to stop putting terrible news out there everytime. In most advanced country especially in the Middle East. It's a crime for you to snap or record or have Copy of an accident scene in your device. It's big crime, for you're not in position to do that. So we shouldn't be a bearer of terrible and sad news everytime... Terrible and sad news happens everywhere in the world. Nigerians 🇳🇬 we're nt alone in this. Let's make use of our media in an healthy manner. Whether we like it or not, their is a significant mental breakdown It's causing us all.
