The FRSC boss blamed the accident on violation of traffic rules.

 

Dawulung said: “The bus driver left his lane and was driving in the opposite direction at high speed only to have a head on collision with an oncoming petrol tanker.

 

“Thank God the tanker which was laden with petroleum products did not go up in flames, which could have been more devastating and worrisome.

 

“The bus was carrying iron cramps with 17 passengers, 15 of which were terribly squeezed and choked to death during the collision.”
