“A total of 20 men were involved in the accident, five of whom got injured while two deaths were recorded,” he said.
Mr Umar attributed the accident to speeding and dangerous driving on the bus driver’s part, which led to him ramming into the moving truck.

The FRSC boss stated that the injured victims had been taken to Famobis Hospital, Mowe, while the deceased were taken away by their families.
