Abuja: FRSC towing truck crashes, driver killed, others injured
The corps marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Dauda Biu, has commiserated with the management and staff of the corps over the loss of its personnel.
The officer, a tow truck driver, was towing a broken-down trailer from a crash scene when he met his death.
Mr Biu said the unfortunate crash occurred at the Karu bridge on the Nyanya-Maraba expressway Friday, according to a statement by the corps spokesperson, Bisi Kazeem.
He said the crash occurred at exactly 04:02 a.m. while the FRSC tow truck was removing the broken truck along the route.
“Investigation into the crash revealed that a total of four people were involved, out of which three sustained different degrees of injuries.
“One person who happened to be the driver of the tow truck was killed. Only the two vehicles, which are the truck and FRSC tow truck, were involved,’’ he said.
Mr Biu, saddened by the crash, prayed for the deceased’s soul to rest in peace and directed immediate evacuation of every obstruction caused by the incident.
