A fatal accident occurred in the Federal Capital Territory on Tuesday, killing two persons and injuring several individuals.
On the Abuja-Keffi highway, a heavy-duty trailer transporting fertiliser bags tragically experienced a brake failure as it descended Kugbo Hill.
According to reports, the driver lost control of the trailer, which then collided with multiple smaller vehicles, using them as wedges before crashing into a Honda Accord.
The impact crushed the car, killing two people, while survivors from other vehicles endured a variety of injuries.
Emergency personnel, including members of the Federal Road Safety Corps and local sympathisers, raced to the scene to assist survivors.
