The families impacted by a terrible traffic disaster in Okunchi, Adavi Local Government Area, have received help and condolences from the Kogi State Government.
A tanker and a BUA Cement truck were involved in the Thursday accident, which caused a large fire outbreak that destroyed cars, a house, and a mosque.
Many people were hurt in the collision, including a biker, and one cement truck driver became severely ill as a result of his injuries.
