Not less than 18 persons were burnt beyond recognition on
Wednesday in an auto crash in Narbodo village, Toro LGA of Bauchi state.
Yusuf Abdullahi, the sector commander, Federal Road Safety
Corps (FRSC), shared details of the incident in a road traffic report made
available to NAN on Thursday.
Abdullahi said the accident involved one Toyota Hiace bus
and an articulated vehicle, revealing that three people in the trailer were
unscathed.
He said the accident occurred around 4:40 pm, noting that
the personnel of the corps arrived at the scene within seven minutes of the
crash.
He attributed the cause of the crash to a speeding violation
which led to a head-on collision between the two vehicles.
“Twenty-one people were involved in the road crash and there
were 18 male adults and three children,” he said.
“Eighteen people who were all inside the Toyota Hiace bus
were burnt beyond recognition as the vehicle went up in flames after having a
head-on collision with the trailer.”
Abdullahi said a mass burial was immediately carried out for
the victims by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
The sector commander advised motorists to always be
conscious of traffic rules and regulations while plying the roads.
