A car accident occurred on Friday in Sapamuro village, Kogi State, leaving at least two people dead.
The accident happened after a Toyota Hiace rammed into a truck parked by the roadside in the hamlet, according to Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in the state Stephen Dawulung, who verified the event to journalists on Saturday in Lokoja.
He blamed the accident on over-speeding and poor visibility.
Dawulung said: “I wish to advise drivers to avoid night travel because visibility is normally poor at night.
“Drivers are also most likely to be under fatigue and sleepy at night and yet drive at top speed because the roads are relatively free of traffic at night.
“Drivers must therefore adhere to stipulated speed limits and observe a minimum of 30 minutes rest after every four hours’ drive to avoid fatigue.”
