The Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in the state, Stephen Dawulung, who confirmed the accident on Saturday evening, said, “The accident occurred around 7:40pm on Friday evening, but preliminary investigation revealed that the Mitsubishi space wagon (en route to Ilorin) while overtaking a bus, collided with an oncoming Mack trailer. It resulted in the death of eight persons on the spot: 1one male adult, three female adults and four children; while six others sustained injuries.”
