The Federal Road Safety Corps says it recorded 2 thousand 656 road crashes and 1,076 deaths across the country in the third quarter of 2020.
The Corps’ Public Education Officer, Assistant Corps Marshal Bisi Kazeem, made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Wednesday in Abuja.
Kazeem said that the road crashes and deaths occurred between July and September 2020, adding that the Corps had not relented in its efforts at reducing carnages on the highways.
He attributed most of the road crashes and deaths that occurred along various routes in the country within the period to over speeding.
Kazeem urged the motoring public to cooperate with the Corps, saying that it would go a long way in preventing incessant crashes on the roads.
