ABOUT 15 people have been burnt to death in an auto-crash in Enugu State,
The State Police confirmed the incident that occurred at about 8.20 p.m. on Saturday.
According to Public Relations Officer – PRO, of the Federal Road Safety Corps – FRSC, Bisi Kazeem, the vehicles involved in the crash were a Toyota 18-seater bus and a Mercedes truck.
“The victims have been given mass burial. All obstructions have been cleared. Enugu State Fire Service already extinguished the fire in the bus. The fatal crash is blamed on several factors including fatigue, which must have made one of the drivers to sleep on the wheels,’’ Kazeem said in a statement.
“Travelers should plan their journeys for the day time because when crashes occur away from FRSC rescue points, it is difficult to access help from other motorists at night,” he added.
