A number of people have been killed, while others sustained different degrees of injuries after a trailer lost control on the popular Muhammadu Buhari Bridge in Kano.

The trailer was said to be heading for the southern part of the country when the incident happened.

According to a source, at Hotoro NNPC, under the bridge from Mariri to Unguwa Uku, a truck (Tarela) overturned, carrying both people and goods. The source stated that more than twenty people were involved; some lost their lives, while others sustained serious injuries.

He stated that the trailer lost control while coming from Maiduguri Road, trying to navigate the interchange through the underpass tunnel, which gives access to Ring Road and connects to Zaria Highway.

He added that the trailer slipped inside the underpass, stressing that some people were rescued while many lost their lives on the spot.

The source explained that similar incidents involving trailers have occurred at the same spot.

“The vehicles involved are usually trailers conveying animals, food items, and individuals from the northern region to the southern part of the country,” he explained.

According to business operators around the vicinity, the incident usually occurs when the driver underestimates the vulnerability of vehicles under the bridge and tries to go under speed.

When contacted, the Kano State Fire Service Command spokesperson, Saminu Yusif Abdullahi, said they were working to get details.

It is well

The recklessness way those trucks convey cow and other animals are driving is on call for. They behave as if they have duplicates of their lives at home. I can't number the life of the innocent one that have died on road.

Year of trailers

The most reckless sets of road users are heavy duty vehicle drivers, they don't even consider other road users because they know very well Incase of collision they are very safe.
