No fewer than 11 persons on Thursday lost their lives in a road accident at Lagos bypass around Oluku in Benin, Edo State.
The victims were on a commercial bus,
belonging to Libera Motors travelling to Warri from Lagos with 15
passengers when the accident occurred.
It was learnt that the driver of the bus,
who was among the survivors, tried to reverse the vehicle after hearing
a gunshot but the truck rammed into another vehicle killing 11 of the
passengers.
Two of the passengers, including a
pregnant woman, were said to have been trapped in the vehicle while the
bodies of the dead passengers were left on the highway for several
hours.
Efforts to reach the Edo State Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps proved abortive.
It was, however, learnt that the corpses of the deceased passengers were later evacuated from the scene of the incident.
Lets all be careful this festive period my people
