A severe car accident involving a Toyota vehicle has left several passengers seriously injured on the Katsina Ala to Zaki Biam road, just after the first checkpoint. The incident, reported earlier today, has prompted an urgent call for emergency response and medical assistance.
According to a post by Sankera Ka Ben on social media, the accident involved nearly seven passengers who are in critical condition. Eyewitness images depict a red Toyota car with significant front-end damage, surrounded by injured individuals lying on the roadside. The post highlights the desperate need for immediate aid, urging anyone nearby to come to the scene and assist.
Local authorities and emergency services have yet to issue an official statement, but the community is rallying together to support the victims. The photos shared show bystanders attempting to help the injured, with some individuals appearing unconscious amid the wreckage. The cause of the accident remains unclear, though the severity of the damage suggests a high-impact collision. This also calls for further investigations and a proper lasting solution, as a similar case was recorded on the 17th of October 2024 and the 24th of May 2025, respectively, where at least a total of 13 persons were recorded dead.
In a heartfelt response, community member Gabriel Blessing commented, “God have mercy on us,” reflecting the shock and concern rippling through the area. As the situation develops, the focus remains on providing swift medical attention to the victims. The public is encouraged to stay informed and offer support where possible.
