It was learnt that the accident, which occurred around 10.00 a.m., occurred at Abuduka area on the Ogbomoso-Ilorin expressway.

A witness told PREMIUM TIMES that the accident occurred when the driver of the truck lost control.

He added that the truck's brake failed and it rammed into the full 18-seater commercial bus.

"I am not sure if any of the passenger in the bus can survive though, not all are dead but the ones alive are in coma," the witness said asking not to be named.
