The truck came downhill at speed becoming a battering ram, crashing in to cars, motorcycles and then the market, injuring 40 people. Traffic accidents have become very common in Nigeria due to the fact that Nigerian trucks and roads are badly maintained. A senior police officer said that the truck driver lost control and then rammed in to a group of people in the streets.Kogi state commander of the Federal Road Safety Commission, Yomi Asaniyan, said brake failure was the cause. (BBC) Ibrahim Idris, the governor of Kogi state, expressed his sadness and offered to pay the medical bills of those injured. (BBC) Eyewitnesses told a Nigerian newspaper, called the Sunday Trust that this happened in the Allo village which was filled to maximum capacity when the Lorry hit the market. Vehicles caught on fire which burned people to non-recognition.

Sources- BBC News- [] CNN News- [] Similar-The only things similar between each article is that 55 people were killed and that it could have happened on Friday or Saturday. Difference-Virtually everything else than the above is different from each other. Opinion- It was really saddening to see this loss of innocent lives. I mean a truck with no brakes, couldn't the driver just turn in a different direction away from a market??? The trucks need a makeover and better brakes, obviously.
