The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Anambra State Sector Command, has confirmed one death and eight injuries in a multiple-vehicle crash at Agu-Awka, Immigration Junction, along the Awka-Enugu Expressway.<\/p>\n

The sector commander, Corps Commander Bridget Asekhauno, personally led the rescue efforts following the crash.<\/p>\n

Asekhauno told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday that the crash occurred at about 8.45 a.m. and involved a Sinotruck trailer, a Toyota Camry and a TVS commercial tricycle.<\/p>\n

She said that the vehicles had registration numbers AAA920YN, ENU622DR and NSH684VC, respectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cPreliminary investigations indicated excessive speeding and inadequate construction warning signs as suspected factors responsible for the crash.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn eyewitness account indicated that the trailer, while descending a slope, noticed a diversion sign and attempted to manoeuvre into another lane.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe trailer reportedly collided sideways with the Toyota Camry, which subsequently hit the tricycle from behind, while the trailer somersaulted,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The sector commander said that nine persons were involved in the crash, with one confirmed dead and eight sustained varying degrees of injuries.<\/p>\n

She added that five of the injured victims were taken to hospital for medical attention.<\/p>\n

According to her, the FRSC rescue team promptly mobilised to the scene to manage traffic and clear the obstruction.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe prompt intervention ensured the clearance and reopening of the blocked diversion route to motorists,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Asekhauno expressed condolences to the family of the deceased and wished the injured victims a speedy recovery.<\/p>\n

She urged construction companies to provide adequate and visible warning signs, particularly around construction zones and diversion points, to guide motorists and prevent avoidable crashes.<\/p>\n

She also advised motorists to observe speed limits, exercise caution around diversions and construction areas as well as pay attention to road signs and traffic instructions.<\/p>\n

The sector commander reiterated FRSC\u2019s commitment to prompt emergency response, effective traffic management and the protection of lives and property on Nigerian roads. (NAN)<\/p>\n
