Tragic Accident in Kogi: Four Dead, Two Injured in Lone Truck Crash

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has confirmed the death of four people and severe injuries to two others in a lone accident involving an articulated vehicle in Kogi. The FRSC Sector Commander, Samuel Oyedeji, attributed the crash to excessive speed and brake failure, stating that all victims were passengers of the truck. The accident occurred on Monday night along the Lokoja-Okene road, where the truck crashed into a concrete road divider. A rescue team was dispatched immediately, but four victims were already dead, while two with fractures were taken to Honey Gold Hospital for treatment. The corpses were moved to the Federal Teaching Hospital mortuary in Lokoja. Oyedeji urged motorists to avoid speeding and regularly check their vehicle conditions before traveling.
