An speeding trailer has reportedly crashed into a bus on the Kaltungo–Cham Road in Kaluwa community, Kaltungo Local Government Area of Gombe State killing Nine person and injuring another Five in the process.
Samson Kaura, the Federal Road Safety Corps Sector Commander in Gombe State made this disclosure to newsmen on Monday.
“The victims were rushed to the General Hospital in Kaltungo for treatment, while the bodies of the deceased were deposited at the hospital’s mortuary,” he said.
“The trailer was speeding on a sloping road and, as a result, lost control and hit the Sharon bus from behind, which caused the bus to somersault.
“We have been advising motorists to avoid excessive speed, especially given the nature of the road, which is sloping. Drivers must travel at a controllable speed to prevent such crashes and the loss of lives and property,” he added.
He therefore implored drivers and commuters to exercise caution while driving and also ensure that their vehicles are in good shape before embarking on a journey.
