In the Ibadan crash, no fewer than six persons lost their lives, while eight others sustained serious injuries.
Along the Benin-Lagos express road, a Toyota Hiace bus and a truck loaded with gravel were involved in a head-on collusion, killing 18 passengers.The incident occurred near Okada, Ovia North-East Local Government Area of Edo State.
It led to a serious gridlock as passengers and drivers made frantic effort to save the life of the victims.
