The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) confirmed on Tuesday that only one person died in the multiple accident which occurred at the NNPC Mega Filling Station at Naira Triangle, Enugu.
The Sector Commander of FRSC in Enugu, Mr Edward Zamber, confirmed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu.
NAN recalls that at about 11am on Christmas Day, a Mack truck had veered off its lane and rammed into six vehicles and two tricycles that were on the queues at the mega station living 15 people unconscious.
NAN gathered that the truck veered off the road after the driver had made a turn at the triangular portion of the Enugu/Abakaliki Road where the station is located.
An eyewitness, who spoke to NAN at the station on condition of anonymity, alleged that four persons must have died in the incident.
“I have not seen anything like that multiple accident in my life. It was horrifying to me as well as other people at this filling station, when it happened,’’ he said.
