Five Members Of The Same Family Dies In Car Crash

Five members of the same family were yesterday killed in a car accident that occurred along Kano express road at Tamburawa Bridge.

The victims were travelling in a Mercedes Benz car from Zaria to Kano when the driver skipped off the track.

Eyewitnesses said the driver lost control when he ran in to a deep pothole at the edge of the bridge, adding that efforts made by local divers to rescue them failed. The Fire Service however managed to bring out the bodies of the deceased.

The Kano Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Hassan Kogari confirmed the accident. He blamed the poor condition of the road for the accident, adding that no fewer than 34 lives have been lost in the past six months in similar crashes.

Kogari appealed to the Federal Government and other relevant authorities to commence repairs on that particular portion of the bridge in order to avert further loss of lives. Follow @todaysgist
