Tsukwam stressed that the unfortunate accident involved an articulated vehicle (truck) and a Toyota Bus which was en route Abuja from the Southern part of the country.

He narrated that the vehicles had heads-on collision when the bus which on high speed tried to overtake an articulated vehicle but suddenly faced the incoming truck.

“It was very unfortunate, because it was caused by speeding and wrongful overtaking and involved 27 persons with only eight survivors.

“Our rescue operation team and the police were able to rescue the eight survivors and rushed them to Fisayo Hospital, Obajana for immediate medical attention,” Tsukwam said.

The sector commander emphasised that the highways were not race roads and appealed to motorists to avoid speed and wrongful overtaking.

He also tasked motorists to always keep to traffic rules and regulations to help the corps and the federal government in reducing road crashes and carnage on roads across the country.
