At least 21 people have lost their lives in a motor accident that occurred along the Kaduna-Abuja highway between the border of Kaduna and Niger States on Thursday.
According to the reports, the accident involved a truck and a passenger commercial bus heading to Kano from Abuja and Katsina State.
A source from the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Kaduna State, said the accident occurred close to a traffic diversion around Niger State, which forced all vehicles coming from the opposite directions to drive on a single lane due to the ongoing reconstruction of the Kaduna- Abuja highway that has taken a long time to complete.

The FRSC official, the driver of the truck immediately fled the scene of the accident thereby leading to heavy traffic that built up on the busy highway for several hours.
Three surviving passengers were rushed to the Umaru Musa Memorial Hospital in Sabon-Wuse town, close to the border between Kaduna and Niger States for medical attention, while the remains of the victims were deposited at the hospital’s mortuary.
