The Bauchi-Jos Highway’s Isma hamlet was the scene of a tragic car accident on Saturday that claimed the lives of five people.
In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Bauchi, the Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps in the state of Bauchi, Yusuf Abdullahi, verified the number.
The collision involving a Peugeot 406 and a DAF tanker, he claimed, also gravely injured two further people.
A speeding violation, according to him, was what caused the collision.
“Seven persons were involved in the fatal crash, and they include three male adults, three female adults and 1 female child.
“Two each of the male and female and the child lost their lives on the spot.
“Two others, a male and a female sustained various degrees of serious injuries,’’ he said.
Mr Abdullahi said both the injured and the corpses had been taken to the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Teaching Hospital, Bauchi.
He lamented the losses and advised motorists to always be conscious of traffic rules and regulations.
