12 die, two injured in Kaduna-Kachia road crash
Twelve people were killed and two others injured in a road traffic crash involving two Volkswagen cars along the Kaduna-Kachia Road in southern Kaduna on Saturday.
The crash occurred at Doka Village and involved 14 people, comprising eight males and six females, according to the Federal Road Safety Corps.
The FRSC Sector Commander in Kaduna State, Andrew Paul Longkam, said eight males and four females died in the crash, while two females were injured and taken to Rapha Hospital for treatment.
He identified the vehicles involved as a blue Volkswagen Golf 3, with registration number APP 394 FN, driven by Alex Bako, and a red Volkswagen Golf III, with registration number ACN 205 HK, driven by Jerry Ankunle.
The FRSC said a tyre burst was the probable cause of the crash, adding that none of the occupants, including the two drivers, used seat belts or any other protective gear.
Longkam said the crash was reported at 10:20am, while the FRSC team arrived at the scene at 10:50am to join soldiers and police officers already responding to the incident.
“The injured victims were immediately evacuated to Rapha Hospital, while the bodies of the deceased were deposited at Idon General Hospital pending contact with their relatives.
“The two vehicles involved in the crash were subsequently recovered to Kajuru Police Station,” the commander said.
