18 Persons Including Children Confirmed Dead in Tragic Jigawa Road Crash After Tyre Burst Sparks Multiple-Vehicle Collision on Dutse–Kwanar Babaldu Highway
At least 18 people, including children, have been confirmed dead following a devastating road traffic accident along the Dutse–Kwanar Babaldu highway in Jigawa State. The fatal crash occurred on Tuesday and involved three vehicles, according to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
Preliminary reports indicate that a Volkswagen bus conveying passengers suffered a sudden tyre burst while in motion, causing the driver to lose control and collide with an oncoming vehicle. Moments later, a truck rammed into both vehicles, crushing them and leading to massive casualties.
The Jigawa State FRSC Sector Commander, Umar Matazu, confirmed that the victims included male and female adults as well as children. Emergency responders and security personnel were quickly deployed to rescue survivors, evacuate the injured to nearby hospitals, and recover the bodies of the deceased.
Following the tragedy, the FRSC urged motorists to ensure proper vehicle maintenance, particularly tyre safety, and to obey speed limits to prevent avoidable road accidents. The incident has once again highlighted the deadly consequences of poor vehicle condition and road safety lapses on Nigerian highways.
