In a related development, two persons were severely injured in a multiple-vehicle collision at Volks, inward Abule-Ado. The crash involved a Coaster bus (NCA 118 XB) and a Mini bus (FKJ 118 XB).
Investigations revealed that the Coaster bus, which was reportedly speeding despite heavy rainfall, lost control and rammed into the Mini bus.
