Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, said about six persons died on Wednesday, May 28 at a road carnage along Mbiabong Itam road, off Itu-Uyo Road in Akwa Ibom State.<\/p>\n

The Sector Commander of FRSC, Edward Odiete, who disclosed this in a statement in Uyo, said the crash involved a Tricycle (Keke) with Registration number DUU407WZ and a DYNA Truck without registration number.<\/p>\n

He said though four male, one female and two children were involved in the crash; all were confirmed dead at the crash scene before the arrival of FRSC operatives except the driver of the DYNA Truck who was said to have absconded.<\/p>\n

He said their bodies have since been deposited to the morgue<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cUpon inquiry as to the cause of the crash, it was gathered that the causal factor to the crash was speed related and brake failure according to eye witnesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Odiete, however, warned road users, especially motorists against reckless driving, speeding, wrong-way drive and distracted driving adding that the incident could have been avoided should the driver and rider observed certain degrees of safety measures and precautions, and adhere strictly to traffic rules and regulations.<\/p>\n

While commiserating with the families of the deceased, he enjoined all road users to strictly adhere to traffic rules and regulations to avoid wanton loss of lives and property due to road crashes.<\/p>\n
