Confirming the accident, the state Sector Commander, Federal Road Safety Corps, Ahmed Umar, said the nine persons involved in the accident escaped unhurt.
He added that the truck driver was driving on top speed when he suddenly ran into the two vehicles whose drivers were attempting to link the expressway.
Umar said, “Nobody died, nobody injured. Nine people including eight men and one woman were involved in the accident. The crash involves three vehicles including two Toyota vehicles and one container truck.
“The truck driver was on excess speed but as he approached the narrowed section of the expressway, he lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the two Toyota vehicles that wanted to link the expressway.
