This tragic accident follows another devastating crash involving a Flight Transport Company bus less than a month ago, in which at least 30 passengers lost their lives along the Ore-Lagos Expressway in Ondo State.
That incident, confirmed by the Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Dr. Samuel Ibitoye, occurred in Onipetesi, Odigbo Local Government Area.
It involved two commercial buses that collided and erupted in flames, burning 28 passengers beyond recognition on the spot. Two additional victims succumbed to injuries while being transported to the hospital, bringing the total fatalities to 30.
According to the FRSC’s preliminary investigation, reckless driving was identified as a major cause of the crash.
The report stated: “The two buses were speeding against the dictates of road traffic rules and regulations, while the GUO Transport Company bus coming from Lagos drove against the traffic to cause the terrible crash.”
The remains of the Ore-Lagos Expressway accident victims were taken to the General Hospital in Ore, while the two survivors were receiving treatment at Olaoluwa Medical Clinic in Odigbo.
