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.
The fatal collision immediately sparked off an inferno immediately and the passengers were trapped and burnt beyond recognition. The two commercial buses, it was gathered, had a full load each of passengers.
The victims were evacuated by a combined team of officers of the Nigeria Police and the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
