The Federal Road Safety Corps on Sunday confirmed that one person was killed and 27 others were injured in an auto crash that happened in Jos.
The state’s FRSC Public Education Officer, Mr Andrew Bala, who confirmed this to the NAN in Jos, said the accident was caused by overspeeding.
Bala said that the accident occurred at 11: am when an 18-seater bus belonging to Gombe mass transit conveying mostly students collided with a 10-seater local commercial bus.
He said,
“The accident occurred around the Living Faith Church, Bukuru, located in Zarmaganda, along Bukuru expressway, Jos South, at about 11: am.
“The driver of the 18-seater bus died instantly, while 27 others sustained various degrees of injuries.
“Looking at the impact, I think speeding by both vehicles caused the accident.”
Bala said those injured are currently receiving treatment at the Plateau specialist hospital.
He advised motorists to desist from speeding, especially during a downpour.
Bala also urged motorists to always obey traffic rules and regulations as well as use good tyres on their vehicles.
