Summary
Nine people died in a road crash involving a commercial bus and a truck on the Ijebu Ode-Benin Expressway in Ogun State, Nigeria. The crash occurred at approximately 4:55 p.m. in the Bethel area during rainfall, with the road pavement wet at the time. The vehicles involved were a white Toyota Hiace commercial bus and a white Sino Truck commercial vehicle (reports also refer to it as a gas-laden truck or Delta Line bus). Speed violation was identified as the probable cause by preliminary investigation. All nine occupants of the two vehicles died at the scene. The Federal Road Safety Corps rescue team arrived approximately two minutes after receiving the distress call. The bodies were deposited at the General Hospital morgue in Ijebu-Ode, and the vehicles were towed to Ilese Police Station.
