Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>At least, 11 passengers were burnt to death beyond recognition in a fatal crash that happened on Sunday in Ondo State.<\/p>\n

The victims were said to be heading to Lagos in a luxury Marcopolo bus when they met their death on the busy Benin-Lagos highway.<\/p>\n

The fatal accident occurred at Soka Bridge in Ore, headquarters of Odigbo Local Government Area.<\/p>\n

According to sources, a truck which was on a one-way had a head-on collision with the Marcopolo bus.<\/p>\n

One of the sources who craved anonymity stated that the bus went up in flames immediately after the accident occurred.<\/p>\n

While confirming the accident, the Ondo Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, Mr Ezekiel Son\u2019Allah, said the accident occurred as a result of overspeeding on the part of the drivers of the vehicles involved.<\/p>\n

Son\u2019Allah added that the corps contacted the Step Down Company Fire Service and Nigeria Police for emergency services support.<\/p>\n

He further maintained that the accident caused traffic congestion on the Benin-Lagos route which was attended to by his men.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fire has been extinguished, while the traffic is being controlled on the Benin-Lagos Lane. Efforts are in top gear with other security agencies to remove the crashed vehicles from the road,\u201d he affirmed.<\/p>\n
