Three persons have died in a ghastly motor accident which occurred at the Enugu-Abakaliki express road.
The accident, according to an eyewitness, involved two commercial buses, travelling in opposite direction on the ever-busy express road.
The source said that one of the buses attempted to overtake a smaller vehicle going to Abakaliki.
He said: “The bus driver didn’t see an oncoming bus from the opposite direction and this resulted in a fatal head-on collision.
“Cars traveling stopped to rescue the victims as a rescue effort saw the injured and the dead evacuated to a nearby hospital.”
Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) in Ebonyi state, Mr. Charlse Aborchi, confirmed the accident.
He said that only three passengers who were males died from the crash.
“Our officers responded instantly on receiving the news of the crash and led the evacuation of the dead and injured.
He noted that the dead and injured were taken to the Annunciation hospital in Emene, Enugu state.
“I advise motorists to shun reckless driving as it has resulted to the wasteful loss of lives on the roads.
According to him, over speeding makes drivers struggle to apply sudden brake and this results to deaths when the brake application fails.
