At least four people are feared dead, while several others sustained injuries after a trailer loaded with goods overturned at Hotoro Junction in Kano State.
The accident reportedly happened around 2 am on Monday, causing damage to property, killing livestock and scattering goods carried by the vehicle.
The trailer was said to be travelling from Potiskum in Yobe State to Port Harcourt, Rivers State, when the incident occurred.
Some witnesses told reporters that the driver was unfamiliar with the route and lost control of the vehicle. One witness also alleged that the trailer’s braking system failed shortly before the crash.
