Two men died when their truck hauling cement bags experienced brake failure while descending a large hill in Nigeria last week.

Witnesses say the collision sparked off a chain of collisions, which involved seven vehicles, with the sources adding that the truck along with its load of cement eventually ended up in a ditch where the driver and his partner died on the spot.

Their dead bodies were immediately evacuated and deposited at the morgue at the Federal Medical Centre in Nigeria while those injured were transported to the general hospital Oye-Ekiti where they were given treatment.
