At least eleven people have lost their lives, while twelve others were seriously injured in a fatal road accident along the Ringim to Beguwa Road in Jigawa State.
The crash happened at about 4:45 pm on Thursday, roughly 20 kilometres from Ringim, and involved a commercial red Volkswagen Golf carrying 23 passengers.
The Ringim Unit Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, CRC Ado Adamu, confirmed the incident, saying preliminary findings point to overloading, excessive speed, and a tyre burst, which caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
