The
Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) yesterday confirmed the death of 10
travellers on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
FRSC
Oluyole Unit Commander, Sanya Adeoye, told journalists that in the multiple
accident involving three vehicles, two trucks and one 18-seater Toyota Hiace
commercial bus with registration number BDG 767 XB, four people survived while
10 other were burnt beyond recognition.
According
to him, the Lagos-Ibadan bound vehicle had stopped on the road to allow one of
the trucks with registration number SW 175 EPE coming out from NSCE
Quarry to pass when unfortunately another truck also coming from Lagos
ran into the commercial bus and smashed it on the stationed truck.
He
said the accident was as a result of over speeding, violation and dangerous
driving.
He said the commercial bus went up in flames which later spread to other trucks.

Adeoye
added that the four people who sustained injuries were passengers inside the
trucks and that they had been taken to the University College Hospital (UCH)
for treatment, while the victims who were burnt beyond recognition were
deposited at the Adeoyo State Hospital mortuary.
