Tragedy struck on Wednesday when 18 persons were burnt beyond recognition in an auto crash in Narbodo village of Toro Local Government Area of Bauchi state.
Yusuf Abdullahi, the Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), disclosed this in a road traffic report made available on Thursday.
The FRSC boss who said the accident involved one Toyota Hiace bus and an articulated vehicle, revealed that three people on board the trailer were unscathed.
He attributed the cause of the crash to a speed violation which led to a head-on collision between the two vehicles.
“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,” he said.
The sector commander, however, advised road users to always be conscious of traffic rules and regulations while plying the roads.
He urged vehicle owners and drivers to ensure having good tyres, driving on average speed, routine vehicle maintenance, and sound state of mind.
