“We were able to rescue 15 passengers with severe injuries, and they were all taken to undisclosed hospitals.
“Some items recovered from the accident scene have been taken to the Nigeria Police Force, Ikire,” Ms Akanbi added.
She advised motorists to inculcate the habit of using good tyres to avert any similar occurrence
The FRSC official advised drivers to avoid excessive speed and drive within the prescribed speed limit.
