At least eight persons have been killed in a multiple-road accident that occurred at Nicon Junction on the Nnamdi Azikiwe Express Road, Abuja.
The accident which occurred around 1:20 pm on Sunday was said to involve three salon cars — Toyota Camry, Toyota Corolla, and a Mazda.
It was gathered that all the occupants of the vehicles and some bystanders died as a result of the reckless driving by one of the drivers.
A large crowd of sympathizers rushed to the scene, while charred human parts and wrecked vehicle parts littered the spot.
Rescue operators from the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) were also mobilized to the scene.
They were seen conveying the dead to the mortuary, as well as taking the injured to the hospital.
An eyewitness identified as Israel Adegboyega, said, “I counted eight people on the floor when I came around but I’m sure that about two or three were dead on the spot immediately I got here.”
Adegboyega added that, “People were just picking people’s legs and parts of the body. I have never seen such. From what I heard, those guys were high; the guys in that Toyota Corolla were high.”
