Abuja auto crash, four injured

Abuja – Four persons are receiving treatment at the National
Hospital, Abuja, after sustaining injuries in an auto accident
involving a Peugeot 407 and two painted Abuja taxis.
Cpl Atoo Akaana, an Investigation Police Officer attached to
the Wuse Zone 3 Police Station said Saturday that the
accident occurred around 6.30 a.m. along Wuse Market, FCT.
Akaana said the Peugeot 407 which was coming from the
Mabushi expressway to Wuse, lost control before the bridge,
close to the market and hit two taxis that were wrongly
parked on the road.
He said that the four persons rushed to the hospital sustained
various degrees of injuries.
“ I have called officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps
(FRSC) to come and evacuate the vehicles,” he said.
Mrs Susan Ajenge, the FCT Sector Commander of FRSC, told
NAN that the corps had received an emergency call informing
them of the accident, but that they had not been given the
name of the location of the accident.
Ajenge said the corps was therefore making efforts to locate
the scene of the accident in order to deploy officers there.
