The Kwara Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Corps Commander Stephen Dawulung, confirmed the unfortunate accident.

Dawulung said that the burnt corpses were given mass burial on authority of the Hausa Community of Okoolowo.

“On receiving the report of the crash, our operatives at Olooru Unit Command were immediately mobilised to the crash scene for rescue.

“Vehicles involved in the accident were a petrol Tanker, a Trailer and an 18-seater Bus following a route violation.

“Preliminary investigations revealed that the empty IVECO Tanker coming from Okoolowo committed route violation enroute Ogbomoso, which led to headon collision with the oncoming DAF Truck, which ignited the fire,” he said.

The sector commander said that the bus which was on its way to Katsina was behind the DAF Truck, but due to driver’s excessive speed, he couldn’t stop and rammed into the crash.

He deeply sympathized with families of the dead and wished the injured quick recovery.

Dawulung advised drivers to avoid taking wrong lanes, driving with excessive speeds, night journeys and ensure they maintain a safe distance between vehicles ahead, to enable them maneuver whenever the need arises.

He reiterated that investigation officers had commenced full investigation into the crash, assuring that the command was committed to discharging its responsibilities in ensuring the safety of all road users. (NAN)
