Kumar further stated that four female adults, one male adult, one male child, and one female child sustained critical injuries.

He said that response teams rushed the injured victims to the Federal Medical Centre, FMC, Bida for immediate medical treatment, while nine bodies of the deceased were handed over to their grieving relatives at the crash scene upon identification, and the remaining four were taken to the General Hospital Kutigi mortuary.
