AT least four persons, including a female banker in Alkaleri and three
soldiers, yesterday died while nine others sustained injuries in a
ghastly motor accident that occurred along Dindima village in Alkeleri
Local Government Area of Bauchi state.
The accident involved an Army convoy, an Opel Vectra car with
registration number AH 951 MGU and an articulated truck with
registration number GGW 01 AH.
Vanguard gathered from residents of the area that apart from the
female banker, three soldiers in the army convoy lost their lives in
the fatal crash.
They said one of the vehicles in the military convoy had a head-on
collision with the Vectra car
Confirming the accident, the FRSC unit commander of Alkaleri, Mr James
Adamu Kalaa said that the crash which happened around 9.54am,
involved 13 persons, out of which four were killed while nine others,
including six soldiers sustained injuries.
He said when officers of the FRSC arrived the scene of the crash, the
army had evacuated the corpse of the three dead soldiers.
According to Kalaa; "When men of the FRSC from the Alkeleri unit
command arrived the scene of the crash, they met only the corpse of
the female banker while those of the soldiers were evacuated by the
Army. The corpse of the banker and injured persons were conveyed to
the Alkeleri General Hospital."
