“The accident was caused by speeding and it involved 15 males and eight females in which one male in the bus died and 21 others were injured.
“Motorists should desist from speeding, especially at night because visibility is limited.
“Broken down trucks should always use reflective signs so that oncoming drivers will be able to see them,’’ he said.
The sector commander said that corpse of the dead had been deposited at Itori General Hospital in Ewekoro where the injured were being treated.
