A major road accident involving a trailer and more than 10 vehicles occurred on Monday along the busy Kugbo axis of the Abuja–Keffi Expressway, causing panic among motorists and heavy traffic in the area.
Eyewitnesses said the crash happened when a trailer reportedly lost control while descending the Kugbo hill toward Karu Bridge, ramming into several cars in the process. The impact led to a chain collision involving over 10 vehicles, leaving many of them badly damaged.
The accident caused a major traffic gridlock along the expressway, with commuters heading toward Nyanya, Mararaba, and Karu.
As of the time of filing this report, details regarding casualties or the number of people injured were yet to be officially confirmed.
The Kugbo–Karu Bridge corridor is one of the busiest routes into and out of Federal Capital Territory and has witnessed several accidents in the past, often linked to speeding and heavy-duty trucks navigating the steep descent toward the bridge.
