LAGOS, July 28 (Xinhua) -- At least 10 people were killed on Friday, when a petrol tanker truck collided head on with a passenger bus in central north Nigeria's Kogi State, an official said.
Most of the victims were passengers travelling in an 18-seater commercial bus along Lokoja-Abuja road, Segun Martins, Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) told reporters in Lokoja, the state capital.
He said the death toll might rise as some of those who sustained injuries were in critical conditions.
Martins said the dead and injured victims were moved to various hospitals in Lokoja.
The poor condition of roads, over-speeding, over-loading and reckless driving are blamed to be the main cause of the frequent road accidents in Nigeria. Enditem
