The Kaduna sector command of Federal Road Safety Corps said one person died and three others were injured in a road traffic crash on the Kaduna-Abuja expressway on Wednesday night.
The sector commander, Kabir Nadabo, said on Thursday in Kaduna that N8.7 million was recovered from the accident scene.
Mr Nadabo said the road traffic crash occurred at Olam along the Kaduna-Abuja expressway on Wednesday night at about 11:01 p.m.
He said a Golf car with registration number SBG 87 XB travelling from Minna in Niger rammed into an unnumbered trailer moving towards Kaduna.
“The Initial investigation revealed that the cause of the crash was overspeeding, fatigue, and loss of control; a rescue team from RS1.16 Kakau conducted the rescue.
”Further investigation shows that six people were involved in the crash, three sustained various degrees of injury, while one person who is the driver lost his life. The injured were conveyed to Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital Kaduna for further treatment,” he said.
Mr Nadabo said the N8.7 million recovered was with the command pending the owner’s identification.
