‎He blamed the crash on the driver’s recklessness, including dangerous overtaking.He said:

‎

‎ “The driver had been driving recklessly, with several dangerous overtakings probably to make up for lost time. It was this particular overtaking that led to the collision with the tipper,” he lamented.

‎

‎The State Sector Commander, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Bridget Asekhauno, confirmed the crash.‎She said the deceased had been deposited at the morgue while the injured are receiving treatment at the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku.

‎According to her “The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) RS5.3 Awka responded to a fatal crash on the Awka–Onitsha Road at the Nawfia axis.

‎

‎“The incident occurred at approximately 06:20 hours involving two vehicles – a yellow-and-black tipper truck with registration number FGG 21XV and a red 608 bus registration XQ 398 AA.The total number of people involved was 32, comprising 9 male adults and 23 female adults."

‎

‎“The collision resulted in six fatalities—two male adults and four female adults. 5 female adults sustained injuries, and 21 people were rescued unhurt.‎They took all victims to the Teaching Hospital Amaku-Awka, where medical staff confirmed the deaths"

‎

‎According to the release, FRSC officers have since cleared the road obstruction and restored normal traffic flow.

‎

‎“This tragic incident is a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of reckless driving.We extend our deepest sympathies to the families of the victims and urge all motorists to respect traffic laws, avoid aggressive overtaking, and prioritise safety for all road users.
