The two vehicles were driving in opposite direction when the accident occurred.
Sector commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Enugu State, Mr. Franklin Agbakoba, who confirmed the accident said that his officers had condoned off the crash scene and had commenced traffic control while firefighters stationed there with their fire engines in case of any fire outbreak.
Agbakoba said, “Actually, there was a crash involving a tanker and a tipper.
“Only one person was injured while about six persons were inside. They came out unhurt while the injured person has been taken to the Enugu State University Teaching Hospital Parklane, Enugu for treatment.
“There was no fire outbreak. Our men are there with those of the fire service. We were able to ward off people that came to scoop PMS from the scene.
“We had to block the road, divert traffic to other lane. Up till now, the road is still diverted. We’re waiting for a tanker to come and transload the contents”.
