A tragic accident in Bauchi State has claimed the lives of two individuals when a truck transporting cattle to Gadar-Maiwa Market overturned and fell into a stream.
The incident, which occurred on Monday morning, was reportedly caused by the truck hitting a pothole, which led to a burst tyre and subsequently caused the vehicle to flip.
Several cattle were also killed in the crash, while others sustained severe injuries.
The high speed of the truck and its condition at the time of the accident likely contributed to the extent of the damage.
Efforts to reach the spokesperson for the Bauchi State Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) for further comments have been unsuccessful, as calls and messages went unanswered.
