The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) in Niger said that five people were killed in an accident on Saturday along Lambata Kwakuti Road in Gurara Local Government Area.
FRSC Sector Commander, Mr Yusuf Garba, who disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Minna on Sunday, said that the accident involved a car and a truck.
He said the accident involved a white colour BMW with registration number BWR 264 SR and a Scana truck with registration number ISR 16 XU.

The sector commander said that all five occupants of the BMW died, adding that his men evacuated them to the Suleja General Hospital. This is a particularly serious example of a car crash which leaves little room for law firms to be able to help. Usually, accidents come in varying degrees but when should you hire a car accident lawyer? In reality, you probably have a claim no matter how little damage has been caused, either to your vehicle or your passengers. No matter how prepared you are, you are always taking a risk by getting in a car, as there are so many potential dangers on the roads.
According to him, this time the cause of the accident is over-speeding and dangerous overtaking.
He said that FRSC would continue to monitor road users to guard against overloading and dangerous driving.
Garba also called on road users to adhere to traffic rules and regulations to avoid unnecessary road crashes.
“We have already embarked on a 24-hour patrol on all the federal highways to ensure safety of road users by enforcing traffic rules and regulations,” he said.
He also appealed to residents in the state to promptly report road accidents to enable patrol officers to save lives.
