According to reports, a traffic accident that happened on Friday in Odeomu, Osun State, resulted in the deaths of about 16 individuals.
The two involved automobiles collided, according to Odeomu resident Fatai Lasisi, who was nearby the accident scene.
According to Lasisi, an Osogbo-bound commercial Mazda bus and a private car traveling from Ikorodu, Lagos State, to Osogbo collided.
He claimed that the commercial bus, which had a gas cylinder in its trunk, swerved into a bush where it caught fire after losing control after being struck by the Lexus car.
Mr. Kareem Isau, the former chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers’ Odeomu Branch, added that when he arrived at the accident site, the bus in question had already caught fire.
He said that while the burned-out van contained 16 dead, including 5 children, only 3 passengers and the bus driver perished.
