29 DIE IN YOBE ROAD ACCIDENT

Twenty nine people lost their lives while 16 were injured in a car crash that occurred on the Potiskum-Kano Road, at Daniski Village, Nengere Local Government Area of Yobe State, on Friday.

Eleven of the victims were burnt beyond recognition, according to a statement by the Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, Mr. Frank Mba, a chief superintendent of police.

Mba said the accident happened when two Toyota Hiace buses travelling in opposite directions had a head-on collision, which resulted in instant fire.

The injured persons were rushed to the General Hospital, Potiskum, while the dead bodies were deposited at the hospital’s mortuary.

If only they weren't speeding the clash might not have been fatal, or there might have been no clash at all.

People, speed really kills!!
