Nadabo, who confirmed the incident in Kaduna through a statement made available to newsmen, said those who died had been moved to St Gerard’s Hospital, while three who survived were immediately conveyed to AP Smart Hospital, Kakuri, for further treatment.
The Sector Commander said it was imperative to also remind motorists that excessive speeding was dangerous, just as he also urged drivers to always maintain the requisite speed limits while on transit.
