While many are still wondering what can cause the collapse, AutoReportNG investigations noticed that the road was built a drainage culvert. The contractor that did the shady job used the curvet as the base of the junction such that when it falls and water passes through the culvert, it exerts pressure on the junction which made the portion to collapse due to poor reinforcement, bad planning or maybe managing of tools.

While the road did not show any sign of crack or damage before it collapsed, the residents were thankful that no lives were lost save for the minibus that got stuck and fell into the ditch.
