Six persons sustained serious injuries while ten others were burnt beyond recognition when a petrol tanker went up in flames in Felele area of Lokoja yesterday.

According to the Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Kogi State, Mr. Segun Martins, ‘most of the victims were passengers travelling in an 18-seater commercial bus’.

Also affected were one commercial tricycle operator, the driver and motor boy of the fuel tanker.
He said the death toll might rise as some of those who sustained injuries were in critical situation.

FRSC officials said the accident was due to a head-on collision between the bus, coming from Abuja and the tanker coming from the opposite direction.

They said that the impact of the collision ignited the fire which spread to other vehicles while the entire area was covered by smoke for many hours.

Men of the state Fire Service Department, who arrived the scene at about 2:20 pm, could not to really help due to lack of water in their vehicles.

The accident led to disruption in vehicular movement on the ever busy Okene -Lokoja -Abuja Road but FRSC officials, police and sympathizers were seen trying to open the road

Lord have mercy

Oh my God. Rip to the dead.

Nigerians be taking pictures of someone who is dying, no emergency response in most of us

RIP!

FG should fast develop alternative means of transportation, especially for petroleum product, the pressure on the road is increasing fast, in other countries, petroleum cargo are moved via rail, pipelines, and seaports.

May God continue to watch over our going out and coming in... Jesus our lives is in thy hands, keep it for us. May we not die untimely, may God touch the hearts of politicians to make them know that whom they hurt by their negative actions/inactions is us all

Very unfortunate.

Some of these accidents are avoidable, compliance with simple traffic rules saves lives, the more reason we need to respect instructions from traffic regulation agencies like FRSC.

Relevant authorities also need to expedite actions on any ongoing road project especially on the busy roads.

Having said that, may the souls of the departed rest in peace.

God have mercy on us.

Jesu, God have mercy on them, RIP

Interstate, you move petroleum with freight trains.
