Eighteen persons on Thursday died in a multiple road accident that occurred along the Benin-Lagos bye-pass. Vehicles involved in the accident included a truck carrying drinks, a tipper lorry and a fully loaded eighteen seater bus. Eyewitnesses said the truck veered off the road and had a head-on collision with the tipper before the bus hit the tipper from behind.
The eyewitness said three persons in the tipper were killed and 15 in the bus were killed while three other sustained injuries. Men of Operation Thunderstorm were said to have been involved in the rescue operation.
Public Relation Officer of Federal Road Safety Corps, John Aniedi who confirmed the accident said six persons were confirmed dead at the point of rescue. He said his men were yet to fully brief him and that the injured were taken to Our Clinic at Oregbeni quarters, Ikpoba Hill.
