Three people were killed and three others injured
in Zuba, FCT, when a tanker driver lost control of
his vehicle, the Federal Road Safety Commission
(FRSC), has said.
Mr Mutar Chowi, the unit Commander of
commission, Chowi told the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) in Zuba that the accident took place
at the Zuba flyover on Monday while the driver
was making a phone call.
The unit commander cautioned drivers to desist
from making calls while driving their vehicles.
“It is highly unfortunate that commercial drivers,
official drivers of government functionaries and
highly placed people in the society are not obeying
the rule of not making calls while driving,” he said.
An eyewitness who preferred anonymity, told NAN
that he saw the driver making a call while driving.
“When the tanker driver lost control of the vehicle,
it caught fire and many vehicles were burnt
beyond recognition,’’ he said.
According to the eyewitness, nine other vehicles
were involved in the accident.
He also said that the tanker driver and two
roadside mechanics were among the dead.
Meanwhile, the Chairman, Gwagwalada Area
Council, Alhaji Abubakar Jibrin-Giri, who visited the
scene, expressed sadness over the accident.
Jibrin-Giri advised residents, especially those
operating along the roadside to move 120 metres
away from the mainroad, to avoid such incidents.
NAN learnt that the injured victims were rushed to
Suleja General Hospital in Niger State for
treatment.
