It was gathered that the truck was over speeding, and it hit the moving train around 6:00am, thereby leaving the truck driver with a bleeding nose.

Speaking to Daily Trust, an eye witness, Sama’ila Umar, said there was no casualty in the accident, except for the injured driver and a car that was destroyed by the train.

“The moving train, carrying passengers was blaring its horn so loud. When I heard it, I came out and we stopped the vehicles from crossing the rail line. Some of them stopped, while others crossed so fast. The Tipper was over-speeding, so it couldn’t stop, it came and hit the train and somersaulted by the roadside,” he narrated

.The driver was bleeding from the nose as he was the only one in the vehicle. He was not seriously injured, just the bleeding on his face, but the Tipper got really damaged as the result of the collision,” Umar added.

 

It was gathered that the collision was as a result of the blockage of the road, and commuters had to use other alternative routes before operatives of the Federal Roads Safety Corps (FRSC) evacuated the train coaches.

Confirming the incident, the FRSC Sector Commander in Kano State, Mato Zubairu, said the accident was caused by reckless driving and over speeding on the part of the driver.

 

“When we received the news of the accident, our operatives went there and blocked the road, until we used our crane to evacuate the tipper and the train coaches. There was no casualty except for the loss of property as the vehicle was completely damaged. But the tipper driver is hale and hearty,” Zubairu said.

“It is unfortunate that the driver is just 20 years old, obviously his tender age could have contributed to the problem. Somebody of his age is not even supposed to be driving that kind of vehicle,” the Sector Commander added.

 

He then cautioned parents to be careful with giving their underage children vehicles to drivers.
