Two died in multi-vehicle accident in Delta: FRSC
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Delta has said that an auto crash involving four vehicles in Ogwuashi-Ukwu on the Ughelli-Asaba highway on Wednesday claimed two lives.
The sector commander Ibrahim Abubakar said that the accident occurred at 10:00 a.m.
He noted that it involved a Toyota Sienna, a tanker and two trucks and could be attributed to the brake failure of one of the trucks.
“It emanated from a possible collision between a Sienna bus, a tanker allegedly conveying liquefied gas and another truck carrying medical supplies.
“The driver of the Sienna bus and the front passenger reportedly died on the spot; an axe was used to dismantle the affected parts of the bus, to bring out the victims,” he said.
He said that FRSC officials and the Delta Fire Service personnel were at the scene to intervene in the event of an explosion from the truck conveying gas.
