Three persons died on Saturday while eight others sustained varying degrees of injuries in a road accident in Amansea Awka, Anambra State capital.
The sector commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps in Anambra State, Andrew Kumapayi, said the accident was caused by a lorry conveying stationaries.
It was gathered that after the crash which occured near cow market, the Hausa community at the market barricaded the road. The protesters said there would be no movement in that axis of the Enugu-Onitsha Highway unless Governor Willie Obiano visited the scene of the crash to see how officials inspecting farm produce cause accidents in the area.
“Two vehicles and 14 Victims were involved in the crash which claimed the life of three adult males, and eight others sustaining different degrees of injuries.“The vehicles involved were: A stationary DAF Lorry with registration number, GGE167XP suspected to be faulty and a Toyota Hummer Bus with registration number, BAL 266XA.
