No fewer than six people have died following a road crash in Adamawa State.
It was gathered that the accident which involved a Toyota Starlet cab and a Toyota Corolla car, happened on Sunday afternoon, along the Yola-Mubi Road.
The incident reportedly occurred on a section of the busy highway between the university town of Girei and neigbouring Jabbi-Lamba.
These communities lie north of the State capital, Yola.
The Girei Unit Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corpsit (FRSC), Kabir Bello, confirmed the accident.
Bello said it was caused by over speeding at a bend few meters to Jabbi-Lamba village.
He said the accident occurred when the Starlet car, with young Mubi residents returning home after a business trip to the South East of Nigeria, veered off its path and rammed into the Corolla car.
According to him, all the five occupants of the Toyota starlet car died on the spot.
He said one person in the Corolla car similarly died while the driver sustained serious injury.
