A truck on Wedneaday killed nine roadside traders in Adamawa State.
The incident occurred this morning when a truck lost control and rammed into his victim at Viniklang, a densely populated community in Girei local government area, near the state capital, Yola.
According to eyewitness account immediately the accident took place, angry residents swooped on the truck and set fire to it.
A witness said; “The incident happened around the Viniklang Junction along the Yola-Mubi highway just after the Jimeta bridge.”
“As you know, that junction is always a bedlam of chaos because of the traffic buildup and the fact that motorists usually park indiscriminately.”
Another witness said the truck driver, tried to minimise casualty when he noticed that his brake had failed, by turning to the left side of the road where there were fewer people at the time of the incident.
The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has not said anything about the accident.
