The tragic incident occurred around 8:30 a.m. near Rochas Foundation School, along the Kaduna–Kano expressway bypass between Kwangila and Dan Magaji.
According to eyewitnesses who spoke to security analyst Zagazola Makama who shared the news via his X handle the accident involved two fuel-laden tankers and two passenger-filled Golf cars. The collision sparked five deafening explosions, sending massive flames and thick black smoke billowing over the highway.
