On Saturday, a car accident along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway resulted in at least 18 confirmed fatalities.
In a statement released on Sunday, Bisi Kazeem, the Federal Road Safety Corps’ (FRSC) public education officer, verified the occurrence.
He said 25 people were involved in the accident which involved two Mazda buses and a Toyota Previa bus near the Isara Bridge.
Seven people, according to him, survived the accident.
Kazeem said: “The collision of the two Mazda buses with unidentified colours and registration numbers with the Previa bus, resulted in an explosion which involved all the three vehicles.
“However, seven passengers of the two Mazda buses on the right lane survived while others were caught up in the inferno and got burnt beyond recognition.
“The passengers of the Previa bus which had assumedly committed the road traffic violation were burnt beyond recognition.”
