Mr Andrew Kumapayi, State Commander, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), confirmed the incident to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Awka.<\/p>\n

Kumapayi said the accident which occurred at about 2pm was caused by speeding and loss of control.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe multiple crashes involved a Toyota Hiace bus with registration number AGB268ZT, a Mark Trailer with registration number GWA456YR and another Toyota Hiace bus with registration number NEN106XQ.<\/p>\n

\u201cOthers are an Acura MDX Jeep with registration number NZM764LK, a Marcopolo Luxury bus with registration number AKD483XF and a Hyundai Jeep with registration number EG172SMK,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The commander said that a witness report reaching the FRSC indicated that the driver of one of the vehicles was speeding, lost control of the vehicle and rammed into the other five vehicles.<\/p>\n

\u201cA total of 52 people were involved in the crash \u2013 38 male adults and 14 female adults. No life was lost.<\/p>\n

\u201c11 people out of the 52 sustained some degrees of injuries and were taken to Obijackson Foundation and Our Lady of Lourdes hospitals in Ihiala for treatment by the FRSC rescue team.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeanwhile, the FRSC rescue team from Ihiala were on the ground controlling traffic as the obstructions had been cleared,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
