Nine vehicles involved in multiple crash on Abuja Airport Road

No fewer than nine vehicles were involved in a multiple road accident a few metres away from the Military Cemetary on the Airport Road, Abuja, on Tuesday.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the accident was caused by a tipper driver whose vehicle apparently experienced break failure.
“I think the tipper failed break and the driver could not control it again,’’ Alhaji Ahmed Rufai, who was with the driver when the accident occurred, said.
Rufai said the driver of the tipper with registration number, YAB 925 YT, took to his heels on seeing the impact of the accident.
A police officer, Sgt. Musa Abdulmumini from the Kuje Division of the FCT Police Command who spoke with NAN, said no life was lost.
He, however, added that Rufai would be kept in Police custody until he produced the run-away tipper driver, whom he gave his name simply as Idris.
According to the Police officer, Rufai may be the driver of the tipper but may not want to own up, for fear of being lynched.
