Three children, including 11 adults making 14 people were said to have burnt to death in a car crash that happened along the long bridge on the Lagos -Ibadan Expressway, on Thursday night.
According to information provided by the Public Relations Officer of the Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE), Babatunde Akinbiyi said the accident occurred at about 8.20 pm.
Moreso, he attributed the cause of the accident to wrongful overtaking on the part of a commercial Mazda bus that rammed into a stationary vehicle (Toyota Rava 4). That, however, was said to have broken down in the middle of the highway.
