Just 24 hours after a CNG-laden tanker collided near Karu Bridge on the Abuja-Keffi Expressway, another fertiliser-laden truck crashed in the same location.
The incident occurred about 3:54pm on Thursday afternoon.
Nkechi Isa, the Head of Public Affairs for the FCT Emergency Management Department, confirmed the accident in a statement, indicating that the truck crashed with a Hijet and a dump truck, but that no one was killed.
She advised drivers to exercise caution while the Federal Road Safety Corps worked to pull away the impacted vehicles and prevent traffic jams.
“Another accident has occurred under Karu bridge along the Abuja Keffi expressway. Thankfully no life was lost to the incident. Our Search and rescue say the accident occurred when a truck laden with fertilizer ran into a Hijet and a dump truck also known as tipper.
“Motorists are advised to drive with caution as the Federal Road Safety Corps is taking steps to tow away the affected vehicles in order to avoid traffic built up,” the statement read.
Meanwhile, several videos showed some persons trying to clear the fertiliser bags from the fallen truck to ease traffic.
