According to an anonymous eyewitness, the accident involved a tipper and a Peugeot car. The tipper vehicle, carrying gravels, lost control and passed through a narrow bye-pass into the Peugeot car at the express road.
The eyewitness narrated that the tipper just lost control, suggesting break failure as a cause.
The acident instantly claimed the lives of the tipper driver, a pregnant woman and another young lady in the Peugeot Car, while the driver of the car sustained serious injuries.
The crash occurred at about 1.30pm; tipper's plate number is JAL 315XA, and the Peugeot's BWR 733AR.
A passer-by rushed to the scene to rescue victims who were taken to Maitama Hospital by men of the Maitama Police Division.
A survivor of the accident was still in shock and could not mutter a word to comment on the horrible accident.
It took the combined efforts of men of the Maitama Police division and the officers of the FCT Federal Road Safety Corps command to control the traffic the incident caused. They, however, declined to comment on the incident.
