The cause of the crash was yet to be ascertained but a team of the Federal Road Safety Corps was seen at the scene.
However, a passenger, who spoke suggested it could have been caused by a brake failure.
He also bemoaned the development, saying that the road repair by the construction company ought to be carried out in the middle of the night rather than delaying people who had several businesses and works to attend to in the morning.
