The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) on Thursday said that 21 travellers were involved in an auto crash at Narbodo village in Toro local government area of Bauchi State and 18 passengers were burnt to death when a bus collided with an articulated trailer.
A statement from the Bauchi Sector Commander, Yusuf Abdullahi said that the accident involved a Toyota Hiace bus and a trailer with three occupants who survived the crash. Yusuf said that the accident happened at 4:40 pm on Wednesday.

He urged vehicle owners and drivers to ensure they have good tyres, average speed, routine vehicle maintenance and sound state of mind while driving.
