Expdonaloaded News; 11 die in Ilorin auto crash

No fewer than 11 persons were confirmed dead yesterday when a Toyota Hiace bus collided with a trailer in Ilorin, Kwara State capital.
The head-on collision occurred at the point adjoining the farm of the late
 General Abdulkareem Adisa at Oko Olowo.
Eleven people were
 confirmed dead inside the bus with registration number
 GA 52 XA, while eight others were seriously injured. The trailer
 was marked XA 939 GZA.
The single lane Ilorin/Mokwa Road is one of the busiest roads in
 the country as it remains the shortest link between the North and the South-West. The administration of former president, Olusegun
 Obasanjo, had reduced travellers’ burden on the road by partially dualising the Ilorin/Ibadan end 
of it.
The road is plied daily by heavily loaded trailers and commercial 
buses on trade missions. The road has countless
 winding points, which make over taking dangerous.post by expdonaloaded.blogspot.com.Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in 
Kwara State, Mary Wakawa, said the crash occurred at about 2a.m.She said the
 casualty figure was high because of the nature of the
 accident and the time it occurred, which apparently prevented prompt
 rescue operation.“We had always cautioned motorists against night travelling. The
 inherent dangers in it far outweigh whatever gains they claim are in
 it. We will not relent on this campaign until we get the needed 
results,” she said.The FRSC men were seen packing mutilated bodies of the victims inside
 a Hilux van, while eight injured persons were helped into an ambulance belonging to the paramilitary body. The two 
vehicles later headed to the direction of the University of Ilorin
Teaching Hospital (UITH), Ilorin.Sources at the scene said the bus was heading to an unnamed state in
 the northern part of the country, while the trailer was said to be
coming from Kebbi State to Oyo State when the accident happened.“We heard a bang around 2a.m inside our hut and sporadic wailing of 
human beings, but none of us could come out to verify the true causes
of these until this dawn when we got to the horrible scene,” a middle
-aged farmer said.When Expdonaloaded blog visited the scene at about 7.05a.m, congealed human blood was noticed 
on the road, just as foodstuff and clothes littered the area.
Men of the FRSC were seen clearing the blocked road
, forcing motorists to drive at snail speed.
