Commuters Crushed To Death In Abuja Multiple Road Crash

About eight persons have been reportedly killed in a multiple road crash that happened at Nicon Junction, Nnamdi Azikiwe road Abuja, the nation's capital.

Eyewitness reports state that the incident happened around 1:20 pm on Sunday.

Details were still sketchy as of the time of filing this report, but a witness, Israel Adegboyega, said it involved a Toyota, a Camry and a Mazda.

People in the three cars, those waiting to cross the express, and those waiting to board vehicles to their destinations were victims of the unfortunate incidence.

The witness said he counted eight people on the floor, while three died on the spot.

“I counted eight people on the floor when I came around but am sure that about two or three were dead on the spot immediately I got here.

“People were just picking people’s legs and parts of the body. I have never seen such.

"From what I heard those guys were high, the guys in that Toyota Corolla were high.”

A large crowd of onlookers was seen at the scene of the accident as FRSC officials conveyed the injured to the hospital and the dead to the morgue.
