An unpleasant start to the new year has been witnessed on the Kaduna-Zaria expressway where multiple road crashes have led to the death of six persons while 11 have sustained injuries.
The Federal Road Safety Corps, Kaduna Sector Commander, Kabir Nadabo, said the accident occurred at Aliko filling station on the Kaduna-Zaria expressway at around 6am.
Nadabo attributed the multiple accidents involving a Bus from Ilesa to speeding and dangerous driving, which resulted in the temporary halting of the movement of motorists.
He, however, said that the road was now free and clear for movement, noting that the rescue team of Zebra 35 Rigachikun responded promptly to the scene and conducted the rescue.
