One person has been killed and four cows died after a trailer suffered brake failure along Crusher Road, Lokoja, Kogi State, last Friday.
The trailer, which was conveying cows, reportedly lost its brakes while on motion.
In an attempt to control the vehicle, the driver veered to the right side of the road but crashed into a phone-charging shop and nearby houses.
The accident claimed one life and killed four cows, while properties in the area were also damaged.
