One person was killed on Saturday, while nine others were injured in a deadly two-bus accident.
Mr Andrew Kumapayi, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Sector Commander, Anambra Command, who confirmed the death, said ten people were involved in the accident.
Kumapayi said the accident occurred when a fully loaded Onitsha bus with pepper overtook a truck and rammed into another Awka bus in a head-on collision.
He said the deceased was a male, while five males and three females sustained injuries.
“We got a distress call this morning that there was a crash involving two busses about 8 a.m. at Enugu-Agidi Junction.
“One life was lost and nine persons, six males, and three females sustained varying degrees of injuries and have been rushed to the hospital for treatment.
“The vehicles involved were a Toyota Hiace bus with registration number USL 463 XB White in colour, and a Mitsubishi L300 bus marked XC 418 JJJ.
“The Toyota Hiace bus overloaded with pepper wrongfully overtook a vehicle and ran into another bus head-on,’’ he said.
Kumapayi cautioned drivers against overload, speed and road violations
