A driver was injured after a trailer rammed into a truck on the Karu Bridge yesterday.
Videos of the accident trended on social media, with fears that many may have died from it, reports Channels TV.
But in a statement, the FCT Emergency Management Department (FEMD) said no casualty was reported in the accident.
“No life was lost to the incident,” the statement from FEMD’s Head of Public Affairs, Nkechi Isa, read partly.
“The J5 driver, however, sustained some injuries and has been taken to the hospital. The accident occurred when the sachet water truck hit its brakes on sighting personnel of the road maintenance agency carrying out repair works on the road by the Karu bridge.”
She said the “trailer coming from behind is reported to have rammed the sachet water truck. Personnel of the FCT Emergency Management Department and the Federal Road Safety Corps attended to the incident.”
Karu Bridge is located on the expressway, linking Nasarawa and the FCT. The accident is the latest in the series of road crashes around that axis.
