How New bride, 5 bridesmaids died in Niger car crash

No fewer than 13 people, including a newlywed bride, five bridesmaids, her brother-in-law, and six others, have lost their lives in a tragic incident that took place near Lukoro in Edati, Niger State.

The devastating accident, according to reports, took place on Friday evening and has been attributed to a combination of speeding and reckless overtaking.

Tsukwan Kumar, the Niger State Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), disclosed that the crash claimed the lives of eight female adults, four male adults, and one male child.

Kumar further stated that four female adults, one male adult, one male child, and one female child sustained critical injuries.
