“Sympathisers rushed the constable to the General Hospital, Darazo, where he was certified dead by a medical doctor,’’ the police spokesman stated.
The Bauchi State Emergency Management Agency said the flooding was caused by three days of persistent rainfall in the area.
The vehicle occupants, three males and one female, were travelling out of Bauchi for an event.
Four persons have been killed in an automobile crash in Bauchi, says the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
Mr Gidado disclosed that 1,750 bags of rice and other food items would be supplied to the refugees camped in four LGAs of Bauchi state.
“The truck veered off the road and threw the people away. Some hung on the truck.”
