Six
persons were killed on Monday as a commercial Mazda bus veered off the
road to hit a stationery trailer on the Ibadan end of Lagos-Ibadan
Expressway.
The
14-passanger bus with registration number Oyo XE 675 LUY lost control
around RATCON quarry company and rammed into a Mack truck with
registration number Lagos XX 455 GGE, parked by the roadside.
Confirming
the incident, the Assistant Corps Commander of the Federal Road Safety
Commission, FRSC, Oluyole Unit 1, Sanya Adeoye, said his officers along
with state rescue officials rushed to the scene shortly after it
happened.
He
said some of the victims were rescued while the corpses of the dead
were taken to the Adeoyo State Hospital morgue, Ring Road, Ibadan.
Mr.
Adeoye disclosed that they could not ascertain the cause of the crash
yet, but added that the bus probably developed some mechanical fault
which led to the accident.
“In
all, 14 passengers were involved, six died – four male and two female.
Their corpses have been deposited at the Adeoyo morgue. The injured
victims are now receiving treatment at the University College Hospital,
UCH, Ibadan. Also, N64, 210 and five Euros (N1, 000) was recovered from
the victims,” he said.
