Many people were feared dead on Monday following another tragic accident that occurred on the Karu Bridge, along the Nyanya-Keffi road in Abuja on Monday.
An eyewitness account revealed that the unfortunate crash was caused by a trailer and a vehicle conveying sachet water, popularly referred to as pure water, 24 hours after a terrible accident involving about seven cars claimed innocent lives at the same spot.
Emergency agencies reportedly turned up at the scene, but the exact number of casualties is yet to be confirmed as of the time of filing this report.
The collision led to a heavy traffic gridlock on the usually busy route, with emergency services working to rescue victims and clear the obstruction.
The Guardian reports that last month, at least two accidents took place around the Karu Bridge, resulting in the deaths of several persons.
