Two 18 seater buses had a head-on collision while trying to overtake from their lanes at a point where the road construction company handling the rehabilitation project made a road diversion. The Oyo State police command yesterday confirmed the death of 26 people who were victims of a ghastly auto crash which occurred in the early hours of the day along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

 

Yesterday’s incident made it the second fatal accident within a week. Eye-witness account informed that the two buses, one coming from Lagos end and the other from Ibadan end collided in an attempt to overtake a vehicle ahead of them on their lane.
