No fewer than five persons died in another terrible accident on Karu Bridge, inward Karu Site, in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on Friday.
According to eyewitnesses, the accident was caused by a truck laden with cement which had a brake failure while descending the Kugbo hill.
The Nation gathered that the truck, after crushing several vehicles and their occupants, attempted to escape but was intercepted around Karu Roundabout by commercial motorcyclists.
The accident came barely a month after a similar fatal incident on the same Karu Bridge when a trailer powered by CNG lost its brakes, crashed into several vehicles and claimed multiple lives.
Security operatives were at the scene of the incident trying to move those injured to a nearby hospital as of the time of filing the report. (The Nation)
