Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, says no fewer than four persons lost their lives in a ghastly auto accident on the Ugwu Onyeama axis of the Enugu-Onitsha Federal Highway.<\/p>\n

The Sector Commander of the FRSC Enugu State Command, Mr Adeyemi Sokunbi, confirmed the incident on Wednesday in Enugu.<\/p>\n

Sokunbi said the accident happened between 6:45pm. and 7pm. on June 11 when a trailer ladened with kerosene lost control and rammed into six other vehicles.<\/p>\n

He said two persons died instantly among the 29 persons involved in the ghastly accident while two others died at the hospital.<\/p>\n

Sokunbi said the FRSC used the corps\u2019 Intensive Care Unit (ICU) ambulance and other vehicles to rush the 10 persons, who were injured to the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Enugu.<\/p>\n

He also said the deceased were taken to the Enugu State University Teaching Hospital (ESUT) Park Lane, Enugu where they were deposited at the morgue.<\/p>\n

The commander said some items belonging to the victims were also recovered at the scene of the accident.<\/p>\n

According to him, the kerosene-laden truck lost its break and rammed into six other vehicles, which included cars and a bus on the reconstructed section of the Enugu-Onitsha Federal Highway.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWe are thanking God that the truck that failed break was not conveying petrol, which is extremely inflammable.<\/p>\n

\u201cMotorists and all road users in general, have to be very careful on the road.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe advise that all should put their vehicle in order and at an optimal condition before setting out on journeys.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot afford to put a mechanically deficient vehicle on the road to cause harm to many others using the same road,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
