Read Time:1 Minute, 6 Second
A road accident in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State, on Monday resulted in one fatality.
This was confirmed in a statement by Martins Chime, the spokesperson for the state command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), on Tuesday in Port Harcourt.
Chime explained that a truck with the registration number XP633JJ experienced brake failure and collided with a tricycle without a number plate on the Port Harcourt/Aba Express Road, resulting in the death of a young female passenger.
He noted that the incident occurred around 3 p.m. at the well-known Oil Mill Junction.
Chime also stated that four other passengers, who quickly jumped out of the tricycle when they saw the truck approaching, were unharmed.
“Upon the arrival of our operatives at the crash scene, officers of the Elimgbu Police Division had already evacuated the corpse and deposited it at a morgue in Port Harcourt.
“An eyewitness attributed the cause of the accident to brake failure, which resulted in an uncontrollable collision between the truck and the tricycle, leading to the victim being hit.
“However, our men swiftly ensured that the accident scene was properly cleared of debris and road obstructions to ease traffic flow,” the corps’ spokesman said.
