The Federal Road Safety Corps says it will henceforth impound smoky vehicles operating within Enugu state to forestall road crashes.
The State Sector Commander, Mr Joseph Toby, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Enugu on Thursday.
Toby decried the rising spate of crashes caused by excessive smoking vehicles that had continued to be a recurring decimal on the roads in the state.
He wondered how one can have articulated vehicles used for commercial purpose daily, and leave the same unattended to or fixed.
The commander urged vehicle owners to always ensure their vehicles were road worthy, adding that most crashes were caused by human error and carelessness.
He said: “Road users, especially vehicle owners, should assist the FRSC and its stakeholders to reduce road crashes to the barest minimum in the state by fixing their vehicles,”
