The Federal Road Safety Corps has said it will start impounding haulage trucks conveying passengers.
The Sector Commander in Kaduna State, Mr Zubairu Mato, said this on Thursday in Kaduna at a stakeholders engagement on rising fatalities involving haulage trucks carrying passengers.
The theme of the event was “Reducing Road Traffic Crashes Through Stakeholders Engagement”.
He emphasised that haulage trucks were meant for the conveyance of goods, as such the Corps would also prosecute truck owners and drivers conveying passengers.
He lamented that road traffic crashes involving haulage trucks carrying passengers have been on the rise in recent times.
Mato said reducing road traffic crashes involving haulage trucks required collaborative efforts of stakeholders, on improving safety standards, education and awareness.
