“The corpses were taken away by family members of the victims, while the survivors were taken to a nearby hospital,” the FRSC official said.

He added that the mechanical fault that led to the loss of control of the vehicle was the most likely cause of the accident.

The FRSC sector commander advised motorists to always check their vehicles and ensure that they are in good condition before plying the roads.

Uga also enjoined motorists to adhere strictly to traffic rules and regulations to stem unnecessary loss of lives.
