Eyewitnesses described the accident as occurring when a white Toyota Venza’s driver, with the number ABUJA, GWA 50 AW, struck traffic, causing a four-vehicle collision.
Three large, passenger-loaded commercial minibuses were the other vehicles involved.
Scores were hurt and the traffic was completely stopped as a result of the impact.
