Four pupils of the Federal Government Girls College, Oyo and a driver were crushed to death in a bizarre accident few kilometres away from the school gate on Sunday.

Five other pupils were injured in the accident and are currently receiving treatment at various hospitals in the town.

The deceased pupils, Olubukola John, SS3; Taibat Giwa, SS3; Mojisola Ladipo, SS1; and Mariam Ibirogba, JSS 3; and those injured were returning to the school after observing mid-term break.

The Public Relations Officer of the college, Mr. Akin Omitade, told our correspondent that the accident occurred at a market when an overloaded truck carrying bags of food stuff lost its balance while trying to negotiate a narrow bend in the busy market.

In the process, the truck fell on the mini-bus conveying the pupils to the school, killing four of them and the driver of their mini-bus.
