An early morning accident involving three vehicles: a trailer, a hummer bus and a Volvo car, yesterday, claimed 12 lives including six males along Ilorin/Ogbomoso Expressway, Ilorin. One of the vehicles, an 18-seater commercial hummer bus had some passengers trapped inside and were burnt beyond recognition. A survivor said the Hummer bus allegedly took off from Lagos heading to Sokoto State when the trailer fully loaded with bags of cement collided with it. The badly burnt remains of the victims were deposited at the morgue of the tertiary health institution. Owoade appealed to motorists plying major roads in the state to shun over speeding and reckless driving to reduce road crashes.
