Seven persons were burnt beyond recognition while five others sustained injuries in a multiple road accident involving three vehicles along Durum Village in Bauchi State.
The accident which occurred around 12.50pm, involved two commercial vehicles, an Opel Vectra, marked AE 609 NNG, AA 698, a Sharon station wagon and another Verta car.
An eyewitness said the accident happened when the driver of the Vectra got stuck in the middle of the road because his car’s steering locked suddenly “As the driver was trying to get the vehicle off the road, the Sharon station wagon on top speed heading for Kano State collided with it and immediately caught fire.
“Another Vectra which was coming behind the Sharon bus also collided with it and went up in flames.” Confirming the incident, the state’s sector Commander of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Henry Olatunji, said 12 men were involved in the accident, noting that seven persons died while five others were injured. He said FRSC operatives evacuated the corpses and injured persons to the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, (ATBUTH), Bauchi.
The commander disclosed that it was difficult to identify the relatives of the occupants of the Sharon bus because it was not registered in a commercial park.
