Four persons including a commercial driver on Wednesday lost their lives in a fatal road accident which occured along Olokuta-Shasha road in Akure, the Ondo State capital.
Eyewitnesses said the accident occured when a Sienna bus coming from the Ondo axis of the road had a head-on collision with an Ore-bound hummer bus.
The four victims were said to have died instantly.
It took the intervention of motorists and residents around the area before some other passengers in the vehicles could be rescued.
Men of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in the state later arrived at the scene and moved the corpses of the victims to the mortuary.
The accident caused a gridlock on the busy Akure-Ondo road for several hours.
