Two persons were burnt to death while four others sustained various degrees of burns in an accident at Kwaita village, on the Abuja-Lokoja highway.
A witness said the accident happened around 2:15 am last Thursday and it involved a J5 Peugeot bus with registration number FST 84 TXE and an unmarked DAF trailer.
He said the J5 bus coming on top speed from the Gwagwalada axis, rammed into the trailer on motion and went up in flames, adding that the driver of the bus and one other person were trapped.
He said the two victims were burnt beyond recognition, adding that four other victims that sustained various degrees of burns were taken to hospital by officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) at the Yangoji Unit Command.
A senior FRSC official at the Yangoji Unit Command, who preferred anonymity, confirmed the accident, saying two persons were burnt to death and four others sustained injuries.
