Tragedy struck on Wednesday when six persons lost their lives in a road crash in Dinki village in the Bogoro Local Government Area of Bauchi state.
Yusuf Abdullahi, the Bauchi sector commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), disclosed this in Bauchi on Wednesday.
The FRSC boss said two other people were seriously injured in the crash.
He said the accident, which involved one commercial Peugeot pick-up vehicle, happened around 10:30 a.m.
According to him, it took the personnel of the corps barely one hour to arrive at the scene of the crash to clear the site.
