Mr Shehu Mohammed, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Zonal Commanding Officer (ZCO) in charge of the FCT and Niger, has said that human error is responsible for 80% of Road Traffic Crashes (RTCs) throughout the thirty-six states, including the FCT.

This was said by Mohammed in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Abuja.

He stated that the major causes of RTCs in the country were human, mechanical, and natural.
