Fatal Bus-Truck Collision in Ilorin Claims Three Lives

Three persons were burnt to death following a collision between a passenger bus and a truck in Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State. The accident occurred around midnight on Thursday at the Oko-Olowo axis when the bus, which was transporting day-old chicks from Lagos, collided with a truck loaded with sacks.

The truck, traveling from the Shao direction, attempted to make a U-turn towards Oko-Olowo when it was struck by the bus. The impact of the collision ignited a fire that engulfed the bus, trapping all three occupants inside.

Eyewitnesses reported that officials from the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) arrived at the scene early Friday morning to evacuate the victims' remains. Kabiru Kazeem, the Kwara State Sector Commander of the FRSC, confirmed the incident and stated that he would provide further details, although none were available at the time of the report.
