By Adeleye Kunle
Two persons have been confirmed dead and six others injured in three separate car crashes along the Gombe by-pass towards Pantami community on Friday.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Gombe Command confirmed the incident on Saturday.
The State Commander, Felix Theman, said the suspected causes of the accidents, which involved one truck, one vehicle, and one motorcycle, were overloading, speeding and faulty vehicles.
He said corpses of those that died had been taken to the mortuary, and those that sustained injuries were taken to the hospital.
The commander said that in one of the crashes, a motorcyclist was carrying three passengers, “this is unacceptable and that’s why we have been sensitising them but some will just not listen.”
He cautioned motorists against speeding, overloading, and using faulty cars, adding, “we must avoid whatever will lead to crashes and be careful, especially now that the Ember months are here.
He also advised residents of the by-pass and Pantami community to avoid trading close to the roads
