The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has
confirmed the death of 13 persons in a ghastly motor accident on
Malumfashi-Dabai road in Kafur Local Government Area of Katsina State.
Alhaji Abdu Bagadawa, the FRSC Sector Commander, told the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Katsina that the accident occurred at
Unguwar-Iliya village at about 7 a.m on Tuesday.
He explained
that the accident involved a Volkswagen wagon, with registration number
KAF 608 XA carrying 18 passengers and a trailer belonging to Dangote,
registered TRN 130 XA, parked by the road side. According to him, the
Volkswagen had a tyre burst, which caused it to skid off the road and
hit the parked trailer.
He explained that 13 persons were killed
instantly, while five others sustained various degree of injuries.
Bagadawa revealed that the corpses and injured victims were conveyed to
Malumfashi General Hospital.
The sector commander urged
motorists to abide by traffic rules and regulations, stop using
second-hand tyres and desist from speeding, to avoid crashes.
Bagadawa
used that opportunity to urge drivers who did not install Speed Limit
Device to do so, for the safety of their passengers.
