Fifteen people have escaped death after a DAF trailer carrying passengers and goods crashed along the Kano-Zaria Road at Gadan Yankifi in Kano State.

n

The crash occurred at about 5:00 a.m. on Sunday, according to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Kano Sector Command.

n

The FRSC said its rescue team arrived at the scene within five minutes of receiving the distress call and rescued all 15 people involved in the crash.

n

“The victims were evacuated to Kura General Hospital for medical attention. No death was recorded in the incident,” the FRSC said.

n

The crash, however, caused a temporary obstruction on the Kano-Zaria Road, affecting the free movement of vehicles.

n

The Sector Commander, FRSC Kano Sector Command, CC IM Lawal, immediately deployed the Corps’ tow truck to the scene to assist in removing the damaged vehicle and clearing the road.

n

The FRSC advised motorists using the route to be patient and reduce their speed when approaching the affected area.

n

It also urged motorists to obey traffic rules and cooperate with FRSC officials and other emergency responders working to restore normal traffic flow.
