The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Kogi State Command, has confirmed the death of five persons in an accident on the Kabba-Obajana Road in the Kabba Local Government Area of the state.
Mr. Samuel Oyedeji, State Sector Commander, explained that three persons survived the accident involving a Ford Galaxy space wagon and a Mazda car on Thursday.
Oyedeji attributed the cause of the accident to speeding and wrongful overtaking.
“The head-on collision between the two cars moving in opposite directions happened due to speeding and wrongful overtaking by one of the drivers,” he stated.
“We have been preaching against drivers flouting road safety rules and regulations, yet these motorists hardly heed our warnings. Five persons lost their lives in the accident that left three others seriously injured,” he lamented.
The sector commander disclosed that officers from the command had carried out a rescue operation at the scene of the accident.
“The three injured persons have been moved to the Kabba General Hospital for medical attention. The corpses have been deposited in the mortuary of the same hospital,” Oyedeji confirmed.
He reminded motorists to always endeavour to keep to road safety rules and regulations to avoid road crashes.
