The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Anambra State Command, said three persons died on Monday night in an accident involving a commercial bus and a Hilux truck in Awgbu, Orumba Local Government Area.
The FRSC Sector Commander in the state, Mr Sunday Ajayi, told newsmen that the incident was caused by speeding and wrong overtaking.
Ajayi said the number of accidents and deaths on the road since the beginning of the year was disturbing.
