A ghastly accident has led to the death of one person in Ogun State after a bus ran into a petrol tanker.
The Federal Road Safety Commission
(FRSC) in Ogun says one person died on Saturday in a road accident at
Sagamu involving a fuel tanker, an articulated vehicle and a bus.
According
to Vanguard, the State FRSC Sector Commander Adegoke Adetunji said no
fewer than 11 people also sustained injuries in the accident that an
eyewitness said occurred in the midnight.
He
said the tanker, loaded with petrol had a mechanical problem and
stopped on the road, while the bus and truck rammed into it resulting in
explosion.
He
said that the tanker caught fire and burnt other two vehicles, noting
that the dead and the injured had been taken to hospital.
“We
can’t even give you the number plates of the affected vehicles because,
by the time we got there, they were all burnt beyond recognition,’’ he said.
Adetunji
said the unfortunate accident must have been caused by rate of speed of
the vehicle that rammed into it. He advised motorists and commuter to
always be alert when driving and avoid speeding.
