The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Kano Sector Command, has rescued 15 persons following a lone road traffic crash involving a DAF trailer with an unknown registration number on Kano-Zaria Road.
The corps said the accident occurred at Gadan Yankifi early Sunday morning.
The Sector Commander of the corps, Idris Lawal, disclosed this in a statement issued to newsmen by the Sector Public Education Officer, Abdullahi Labaran, on Sunday in Kano.
Lawal said: “We received a distress call in the early hours of Sunday at about 5:00 a.m. from a concerned member of the public.
“Upon receiving the report, we immediately mobilsed our rescue team to the scene within five minutes.
“The crash involved a DAF trailer conveying passengers and goods.
“15 victims were evacuated to Kura General Hospital for medical attention. No death was recorded in the crash.”
He advised motorists plying the Kano-Zaria Road to exercise patience, reduce speed when approaching the affected area, and obey traffic rules and regulations.
The sector commander also urged motorists to cooperate with FRSC personnel and other emergency responders at the scene.
