The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Anambra Sector Command, has reported that an accident along the Idemili River near the Second Niger Bridge resulted in four fatalities on Tuesday.

The Anambra sector Commander, Mrs Joyce Alexander confirmed the incident to newsmen in Awka, attributing the accident to speeding and loss of control, which led to a head-on collision.

She said that eyewitnesses reported that the driver of the brown Mercedes trailer, carrying an unsecured container, was descending a hill at high speed when he lost control and collided with five vehicles parked by the roadside
