The Federal Capital Territory Emergency Management Department (FEMD) has confirmed another accident on Thursday under Karu Bridge along the Abuja-Keffi Expressway.

In a statement issued in Abuja, the department’s Acting Director-General, Mr. Abdulrahman Mohammed, assured that no lives were lost in the incident.

According to Mohammed, the accident occurred when a truck carrying fertilizer collided with a Toyota Hijet truck and a refuse collection truck.

He added that officers from the Federal Road Safety Corps promptly removed the damaged vehicles to prevent traffic congestion.

The D-G urged motorists to adhere to traffic regulations and drive cautiously to ensure their safety.

This incident comes just a day after a tragic crash at the same location, where a truck lost control and crashed into stationary vehicles, triggering a massive explosion. That accident claimed 10 lives and left over 30 people injured, many of whom are still receiving treatment in various hospitals.
