The accident happened after a trailer conveying cattle traders and their helpers -‘ yan –tike –boys’ veered-off the road.

Witnesses said the accident occurred at a sharp bend along Mayo-Belwa-Jada Road on Saturday morning, and attributed it to “recklessness and over speeding by two trailer-drivers.’’

“We saw two trailers coming in the same direction in speedy manner; they were all trying to overtake each other. So in the process one of the drivers lost control.

“We only saw occupants of the trailer tumbling on the ground; three died instantly and many seriously with broken hands and legs.

“It’s very pathetic. This accident could have been avoided,’’ said a witness, who simple identified himself as Mallam Jingi.
