NGOn Wednesday, a commercial Sharon bus experienced brake failure and crashed in Pankshin Local Government Area of Plateau State, Nigeria, injuring eight passengers. The incident occurred around 3 p.m., with the vehicle traveling from Namu in Qua’an Pan Local Government Area to Jos. According to local resident Rotkang Amos, one female passenger sustained serious injuries and was taken to the General Hospital in Pankshin, while others received minor injuries. The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) confirmed the crash and stated that preliminary investigations pointed to brake failure as the cause. No lives were lost in the incident. FRSC officials arrived after the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) had already evacuated the injured passengers, as the driver was a member of NURTW. The exact number of casualties remained unclear since the injured had already been transported to nearby hospitals before FRSC personnel arrived. Officials emphasized the importance of ensuring vehicles are mechanically sound and regularly checked, particularly braking systems, prior to travel.
