That's a photo from the scene sent to me by a LIB reader. The accident
occurred this afternoon at Igbogui village in Benin and involved three
heavy duty vehicles; a Young Shall Grow Motors luxury bus, a fuel tanker
with
registration number GA 71 XA, and a Dangote truck carrying cement.
Over 100 people were burnt to death when the fuel tanker exploded
following the accident. The fire spread to surrounding shops and burnt
several cars packed nearby. Survivors have been rushed to the hospital
while rescue efforts by the Federal Road Safety Corps & Civil
Defence Corps continues.
