The tragedy unfolded around 9:50pm under the Muhammadu Buhari Interchange Flyover in Hotoro.
According to a statement released by CRS Abdullahi Labaran, the Public Relations Officer of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Kano, the preliminary crash report indicates that the incident involved an over-speeding trailer (DAF Model) carrying both goods and passengers. The excessive speed led to the driver losing control of the vehicle, resulting in the devastating crash.
The injured victims were swiftly evacuated to Murtala Mohammed Specialist Hospital in Kano for urgent medical attention, while the police worked to clear the scene of the accident. The FRSC Sector Commander in Kano, CC UM Matazu, has dispatched an investigation team to conduct a thorough inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
Matazu expressed his deep condolences to the families of the deceased and offered prayers for the quick recovery of the injured victims.
He also issued a stern warning to drivers and the general public against the dangerous practice of overloading trailers with goods, animals, and passengers.
