“The road crash occurred this afternoon (Sunday) on the Ogbomoso-Ilorin axis, at Otte to be precise.

“The accident, which was as result of speed limit violation and dangerous driving, involved a commercial Toyota Hilux bus carrying 18 passengers.

“Eye witnesses told us that the driver was driving too close to a smoking trailer. So he must have hit the trailer from behind and somersaulted, after which it went up in flames.

“Out of 18 passengers, seven persons sustained varying degrees of injuries, four died, while others came out unhurt,” he said.

“There were no items recovered at the accident scene because the vehicle got burnt beyond recognition.

“The traffic control department of the Nigerian Police Force has taken over,” he said.

The sector commander expressed appreciation to the state Ministry of Health for releasing its ambulance for quick response, while also thanking other sister agencies for their efforts.

Owoade cautioned motorists against speeding and reckless driving in their own interest and those of their passengers. (NAN)
