Eleven persons were reported to have died yesterday and eight others injured in an accident on the Ile-Ife/Ondo Road.
The Nation Newspaper says the accident was caused by reckless driving and over speeding by the drivers of a Toyota Camry and a bus.
It was gathered that one of the car’s tyres burst and lost control colliding with a commercial bus in the opposite direction making the two vehicles get razed.
The accident, which occurred at the boundary of Osun and Ondo states, disrupted free flow of traffic for several hours.
A police source said eight of the bus’ passengers, including a toddler, were injured while the victims were rushed to the Trauma Hospital in Ondo town.
Some others were reportedly burnt beyond recognition, their remains have been deposited at the morgue of the General Hospital, Ondo.
Police spokesman Wole Ogodo could not be reached for comments
