No fewer than four students and a tricyclist were killed on Tuesday morning on their way to school after a commercial bus crushed them in the Lameco area of Osogbo, Osun State.

THE WHISTLER gathered that among the five victims, four of them were students of Fakunle Unity School who were inside the Tricycle going towards the stadium area when they were crushed to death beyond recognition after the commercial bus veered off its lane.

According to an eyewitness, “The commercial bus with registration number Abuja RBC 15 ZN was on top speed coming from Stadium but suddenly left its lane and jumped over the road median and rammed into the tricycle conveying the four students of Fakunle Unity School.

“The accident also affected a motorcyclist who was coming behind the tricycle with other vehicles plying the road in front of WOCDIF event centre. The accident was terrible, five occupants of the tricycle died instantly because they were crushed beyond recognition. I think the driver of the bus slept off on the wheel.”
