No fewer than 10 persons were crushed to
death on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Wednesday after an 18-seater
Mazda bus collided with a truck opposite the Four Square camp, in the
Ajebo area of Ogun State. It was gathered that the accident, which
occurred at about 2pm, immediately attracted a crowd of

which was heading for Ibadan, Oyo State.
