Kaduna records 350 road accidents in 6months
No fewer than 350 Road Traffic Crashes (RTC) were recorded from January to July 2021, in Kaduna State, the FRSC Sector Command has said.
The Sector Commander, Hafiz Mohammed, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Kaduna that a total of 2,874 persons were involved in the road traffic crashes within the period under review.
According to him, 198 persons were injured while 110 persons died in the crashes.
He explained that most of the crashes were caused by overspeeding, overloading, use of old tyres and night travel.
“FRSC is committed to achieving set objectives in line with the 2021 Corporate Strategic Goals of the Corps,” Mohammed said.
Mohammed said the command would continue to improve on-road safety awareness and enforcement of traffic rules and regulations to reduce road crashes to the barest minimum.
