Fourteen passengers sustained injuries in an accident on Thursday near the Kwaita Bridge on the Abuja-Lokoja highway.
A witness, Shuaibu Sani said the accident happened around 4am and involved an 18-seater commuter bus conveying 19 passengers travelling to the North from the Eastern part of the country.
He said the bus was also fully loaded with luggage coming on speed from the Lokoja axis when one of the tyres burst and forced the bus to somersault.
An official of the FRSC who preferred anonymity confirmed the accident, which he attributed to overspeeding, tyre burst and loss of control, saying 14 passengers who sustained injuries were rushed to Rhema Hospital in Kwali.
