At least 13 people lost their lives in a tragic road accident along the Ikare-Akoko/Owo highway in Ondo State on Saturday, according to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
The state’s Sector Commander, Dr. Samuel Ibitoye, disclosed the details in a statement made available in Akure.
“FRSC regrets to inform the public about a road traffic crash that occurred today, 28 December 2024, at Abule Panu before Ose Bridge, on Owo-Ikare highway, Ondo State.
“The fatal crash, which occurred at about 10:14 AM, claimed 13 lives of commuters in two buses. A total of 14 people were involved, out of which 13 were burnt beyond recognition, while only one was rescued alive with serious injuries,” he said.
Dr. Ibitoye explained that an eyewitness reported the accident was caused by a tire burst in one of the buses, leading to a loss of control and a head-on collision with another bus carrying fabric.
“Immediately after the collision, the two buses went up in flames. The men of FRSC, Police, and Fire Service were swiftly at the crash scene for rescue,” he added.
The injured victim was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre in Owo for treatment, while the deceased were taken to the hospital morgue.
Dr. Ibitoye urged drivers to exercise caution and ensure proper maintenance of their vehicles. He also called on passengers to speak out against reckless driving, stressing that road safety is a shared responsibility.
“Passengers are also encouraged to speak out against dangerous driving because road safety is a concern of all,” he said.
