Jos-Nine lives were lost and three people injured in another ghastly road accident in Plateau State, weekend, a few  days after 12 people died in a similar automobile accident.

The accident involved an unmarked station wagon Peugeot car and a Golf car with number plate KG329KGY, at Kurra Falls junction, along the Jos-Barakin Ladi highway.

A statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, in the state, Assistant Superintendent Apev Jacob, said the cause of the accident was being investigated.

He said those injured were rushed to the General Hospital in Barakin Ladi for treatment, while the bodies of the dead were also deposited in the hospital.

The Command advised road users to abide strictly by traffic rules to minimise the rate of accidents on the highway.

Twelve people, among them supporters of the Labour Party, died in a similar accident last Thursday around Kassa on the Jos-Abuja highway.
