Ten others who sustained injuries are said to be on admission at the Specialist Hospital in Akure.<\/p>\n

One of those rushed to the hospital after the crash later ran away after treatment and the hospital management has directed its security men to look for him.<\/p>\n

Men of the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, had a hectic time evacuating bodies of\u00a0 victims from the wreckages of the vehicles involved.<\/p>\n

Vanguard gathered that the crash involved a DAF Truck marked LAGOS XU 606 JJJ heading for Lagos and a Mazda commercial bus marked XV 315 FST belonging to Obadigbo Local Government heading towards Benue State.<\/p>\n

Contacted the Police Image Maker Adeniran Aremu confirmed that 19 persons died on the spot while nine others were rushed to the hospital.<\/p>\n

Speaking with newsmen the Sector Commander FRSC, Ondo State, Mr John Bekinbo Meheux said going by the number of the victims, the bus was overloaded as it showed that it was carrying 28 passengers instead of 15.<\/p>\n

He said the accident may have been avoided if the drivers of the two vehicles had exercise caution.<\/p>\n
