A tragic accident along the Enugu-Onitsha federal highway at Ugwu Onyeama in Enugu State has claimed the lives of at least 25 people.
The incident involved 10 vehicles, including private and commercial buses, and has left many others seriously injured.
Eyewitnesses attribute the crash to a Nigerian Army checkpoint, stating that a truck failed to brake and overran several vehicles stopped on the hilly road.
One witness described the scene, saying, “I saw a trailer plying the newly constructed lane fail to brake and smash over 10 cars, including private and commercial buses. Bodies were scattered across the road, and vehicles plunged into a nearby ditch.”
The witness added, “The army checkpoint at that axis continues to claim lives. Over 25 persons lost their lives instantly, and many were rushed to the hospital.”
