At least four people are feared dead, while several others sustained injuries after a trailer conveying goods overturned at Hotoro Junction in Kano State in the early hours of Monday.
The accident, which occurred at about 2 a.m. on November 9, also left properties damaged, livestock dead and goods scattered across the scene.
The trailer was reportedly travelling from Potiskum in Yobe State to Port Harcourt, Rivers State, when the incident happened.
Some eyewitnesses said the driver, who was unfamiliar with the route, lost control of the vehicle, allegedly following a brake failure.
One of the witnesses told reporters that the trailer veered out of control at the junction because the driver did not know the road.
The incident has renewed calls for the installation of visible road signs and warning signals at major junctions to alert motorists to potential dangers and help prevent avoidable accidents.
