He said:” Crashes, sometimes, cannot be attributed to over speeding; some people can lose control of their vehicles because of the condition of their health.

“During the nine months, 39 of these people were recorded, while obstruction, that is, allowing vehicles to block roads, leading to crash, were eight and, then, we have like seven other cases.

“If you look at the route that these crashes occured, the route in the FCT recording many crashed is Abaji -Dangote -Gwagalada Road.

“That road was the most accident-prone one during this period; Zuba-Giri was also responsible.

“We have Nyanya-Aya- Maraba as the third most prominent route that recorded crashes; then, Area 1 Roundabout.”

He advised motorists and commuters to avoid night travel, speeding and other road-unfriendly acts that could threaten their lives and lives of other road users. (NAN).
