Three passengers and about 10 cows, has been killed by a trailer conveying people and cows in the early hours of Tuesday that lost control at the Gada Biu/Kabong flyover bridge in the Jos North local government area of Plateau State.
Three other occupants of the vehicle who survived sustained different degrees of injury and are now receiving treatment in a hospital.
Where the vehicle was coming from or where it was headed before falling off the bridge has not been confirmed but the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, community members, and other stakeholders helped in the evacuation at the accident scene.
Route Commander Peter Longsan, the Spokesman of the FRSC, said, “An accident happened in the night; the trailer was carrying people and cows when the accident occurred. We evacuated the people, and the vehicle moved along the way.
“Three people who were in the vehicle died, and the three surviving occupants were injured and evacuated to a hospital. About 10 cows died.”
