According to an eyewitness, the trailer speeding from Kaduna axis was attempting to dodge a vehicle at a spot where another trailer crashed two days ago blocking part of the lane.

“So this truck driver who seem to be unaware about the previous accident, ended up inside the three-storey building with the head of the truck, completely in the building,” the witness said.

It was also learnt that one person who is an inhabitant of the collapsed building jumped from the last storey of the building where he stays after he was alerted by the crash.

Reports revealed that the truck driver was the first person to be rescued around one hour later while one of his two assistants was rescued around 10.45 am.
