Two people were confirmed dead following a fatal auto crash that occurred in the early hours of Wednesday along the Sani Abacha Expressway, Wuse, Abuja.
The accident, which happened shortly after the bridge at about 1:00 a.m., involved a Mercedes Benz 4Matic GL550 with registration number RBC-95DJ and a HOWO truck tipper reportedly owned by Big-Dee Company of Nasarawa State.
According to emergency officials, the Mercedes Benz ran into the rear of the truck, which was fully loaded with fine stones, leading to the instant death of the driver and his lone female passenger.
Their remains were later evacuated and taken to the National Hospital morgue.
Officials of the Federal Emergency Management Department (FEMD), the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), and operatives of the FCT Police Command responded to the scene and worked together to clear the wreckage and restore normal traffic flow.
The FEMD, through its Head of Public Affairs, Nkechi Isa, confirmed the incident and expressed concern over the increasing number of late-night crashes in the FCT.
Authorities have urged motorists to exercise caution, especially during night-time driving.
