A fuel truck in the early hours of Monday ran into two tricycles (keke) along Ntak Inyang village, Akwa Ibom State, killing six passengers on the spot.
It was gathered that the truck immediately caught fire and burnt down the two tricycles with their passengers including a female and five others.
A source who pleaded anonymity, told journalists that the accident happened on one side of the road which is under rehabilitation by the state government.
He added that the congestion on the free lane compacted the traffic leading to the accident.
According to him, “The truck rammed into the approaching tricycle from the opposite direction resulting in the accident.”
